Yes, that's the takeaway. And honestly, at least for myself: Be it two days or two weeks already, it helps me to pick up at such places directly seeing it. If you're using PhpStorm as IDE, you will notice that the
false
is a bit "in the shadows", so you even see immediately in the editor that this is the default value. We know that strictly speaking we don't need it there (for the code to work), but still it expresses our intention. It helps me for development, maintaining, bug-fixing and refactoring as well as code review, even
rubberducking. Use it as a tool, YMMV. —
