It appears that the original VB.NET designers would disagree with you.
That's why they made Or not perform short-circuit evaluation, and introduced
AndAlso and OrElse which were not present in VB6. You are an educated user
of the language, many are not.

One attraction of VB.NET is that it doesn't require people to be serious
programmers in order to write serious programs to get their jobs done. That
doesn't make them just hobbyists, they are also professionals who write
programs without having to be professional programmers, and that's a huge
market.

>Conditionals should never have side effects.

We're talking logical operations, not conditionals.

  Dim Success As Boolean = F(x) Or G(x)

Who knows what side effects or linkages there may be in evaluating the
functions F and G?

Wow, flame bait! Oooh, look, my language is just like English. "If you go to
the store then buy me some milk end if." I thought we were being serious.
