JSLint gives strange message "strange attitude"

Question

I have a form code:

function test(a,b,x) {
    return (a > x) !== (b > x);
}

To me it looks like a logical piece of code, but JSLint complains about the "Weird relationship" message.

So firstly, does anyone know why JSLint is complaining? And secondly, is there a way to somehow disable the "Weird relationship" error?

For some reason JSLInt sees the left side and the same as the right side.

To avoid this, you need to split it into variables

function test(a, b, x) {
    "use strict";
    var t1 = a > x,
        t2 = b > x;
    return t1 !== t2;
}
