Sure, but the wording suggested (maybe wrongly) that the OP 
was a real beginner and so the concept of an expression 
was likely to be foreign. Sticking with equalty or inequality 
seemed likely to be the most familiar test to him/her.

Trying to explain the differnce between is and == seemed 
like it would be a diversion from the primary objective, 
namely how to filter a list comp.

However I guess this discussion has covered that topic too
now, so once again we have managed to kill several 
sparrows with one round of buckshot... :-)
