AKA I found out that yeasterday I wrote a code like this
if (blnVariable == true) {
setVal(CODE, true);
} else {
setVal(CODE, false);
}
Luckily I got it before someone could shame me forever about it (including myself).

Was blnVariable ever nullable?
But then, even if it was, you could have just used:
setVal(CODE, blnVariable == true);

It's not, and I know precisely what I could have used  I was probably just tired or distracted by my many other tasks.

Looks like you might have typed it exactly how you thought it...if this variable over here is true than this other variable has to set to true too.
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

I knew with hard work, gratuitous flattery and a monetary bribe I would eventually get the promotion.

I will allow an exception this one time since you had a good excuse.

Yeah, they are far better like this:
if (blnVariable = true) {
setVal(CODE, true);
} else {
setVal(CODE, false);
}

That code looks like a pretty decent hangover!

If you've replaced that with:
setVal(CODE, bInVariable);
you've introduced a bug whenever bInVariable is equal to FileNotFound.

Impossible as it is VisualBasic (I put it in C only to not hurt anyone sensibility) and not .NET (yes, tried and true VB6, that's what I have to work with) so it is a Boolean that can be only True or False and it is initialized to False.
If there was such a possibility I would have kept the code as it was, of course.

That goes to show that you just can't win; and not just because you're working in VB6.

Could you actually have written something else and realized you had "identical" code in both clauses of the if statement, leading to the obvious replacement with your function calls. You just hadn't made the next step yet.

I found this bit of code a few days ago:- 
__builtin_write_OSCCONL((uint8) (0x0200 & 0x00FF));

That is just awesome on so many levels!
