Point taken. Perhaps it's situational. I see far more problems with context confusion than I do mistakes with operator precedence, but that may be because I'm working with a set of people who've come up through C/C++.

Their C/C++ backgrounds shows itself by way of things like

  if ( ($x > 0 ) && ( $y < 0 ) ) {
      return ( 1 );
  }
