That's not what I'm saying either. But I think this is to be judged on a case by case basis. And it can depend on your understanding of the context. I think there's simply too much nuance here to just say "this smells"
I disagree. I've seen very complex boolean expressions and they were clearly code smell. Sometimes acceptable but definitely a fertile area for refactoring.
Their example is crap to be fair - two comparisons is not complex.
If you do have a super complex boolean expression, I wouldn't call it a smell. It'll be much more obvious
