One of my most common errors is to say 'if foo then ... end' when I
_really_ mean 'if foo==nil then .. end'.

Kind people then write to me to ask why I am so prejudiced against
genuine false values.

But still, just because it's a common sloppy mistake, does not mean
that the language itself must make it impossible to be sloppy.
