eh?

exit is not same as quit.
I have always got the expression that if used in function, it returns as error the exit's result?
not quitting the whole script, only the function.

on the behalf of <>, you already use NOT there.
it's binary operand which does turn its right side to other.

meaning:
NOT 1 - results zero (actually false)
NOT 1 <> 0 - results false
NOT (1 <> 0) - results false

so, it is not issue of golfing, just logic.
or do you say:
"when I drank that milk. ,if"

if it works, ok. but it's not "correct" syntax anyway.
again, it's matter of opinion.

also, having string in there without quotes?
ok, if it works but wonder why it does as it definitely should not.
