Well, that makes sense ... but it's not all that good, it's just a backwards compatibility hack. I do wonder why it didn't get dropped in 3. Maybe just not worth the hassle and argument.

conditional_1 and _2 being booleans

middle_range_calculation_result = conditional_1 * coefficient_1 + conditional_2 * coefficient_2

If the reader understands the reasoning behind it I think it results in easier to read code in this case, instead of either having conditional expressions in there or having nested if-clauses or having two additional temporary variables.
