blizzard wierd IF then else syntax

[RangerX]

simple question is there a reason why they use this type of syntax

function Trig_Items_nr_reduce_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
if ( not Trig_Items_nr_reduce_Func002C() ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

and not something like this

function Trig_Items_nr_reduce_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
if ( Trig_Items_nr_reduce_Func002C() ) then
        return true
    endif
    return false
endfunction

to make life harder, more or less...
you will get so much stuff like that if you analyze the code...

even things like a simple argument reversal:

native function BLA_BLA takes unit u boolean b returns nothing
endfunction

BJFunction SOEMTHING takes boolean b unit u returns nothing
     call BLA_BLA(u,b)
endfunction

@RangerX

same question and answers to BJs

function Bla_Bla takes unit u boolean b returns nothing
endfunction

function Bla_BlaBJ takes boolean b unit u returns nothing
     call Bla_Bla(u, b)
endfunction

better example
