Well I, for one, find your arguments supporting the subject less than compelling...

'=' means assign,
'==' means equal to,
'===' ?

what's the point being made?

One cannot be Hitler if one does not have a cool mustache. Saddam can be Hitler; Stalin can be Hitler; maybe even Einstein can be Hitler; but please don't compare people without cool mustaches to Hitler. It's just not fair.

I presume it's Javascript.

'==' means equal in value,
'===' means equal in identity

In other words, Richard Dawkins is not just exactly like Hitler - he's the very same person!

When I was taking geometry "=" always meant equal in identity. If you wanted to say two things were equal in value you had to have a "~" symbol above the "=". In most programming languages "=" assigns equality and "==" tests it, but what with pointers and all it can get tricky.
