The quotation is just the BestPractice.
Oh right *facepalm* .. totally missed that
I saw the quotes, thought "well, that might help, but shouldn't matter"
I saw the =, and thought "Oh, that's not right, needs to be =="
and for some reason didn't register the spaces.
I don't pick up on those details as quick sometimes, as I'm just used to writing code like this:
I believe the double [[ isn't really necessary either, is it? (question for different thread - no worries )

The standard ways to perform this comparison are:
and:
Single quotes or double quotes surrounding Value are good conventions, but not strictly necessary in this case. Some shells accept ==, some shells accept [[ expr ]], but portable shell scripts should use one of the above forms instead.
