I seem to have lost/missed whatever message that was originally in, but
nothing is lost there

        I=5?I:J
is
        I = ( 5 > I : J )

and since 5 is true, that amounts to

        I = I

There's nothing weird about that at all, no more than

        3+2 * 7

giving 17, rather than 35 is weird.   Precedence matters.
