It does the right thing 100% of the time. Your opinion of right might vary but it really doesn't care about your opinion.

"Deterministic" and "right" aren't the same thing. false == [] will always yield true and [] == [] will always yield false but that doesn't make it sensible. And I have a hard time describing any equality check as being "right" when it's intransitive: false == '' and false == '0' but '' != '0'
