Perhaps the following behavior is to be expected? would someone explain to me why Maple doesn't automatically apply the simplification needed to ascertain the equality and "erroneously" returns false?

 

newsysnonlinear := simplify(newsys-newsystaylor):
> is( newsysnonlinear = newsys-newsystaylor );
> is( newsysnonlinear = simplify(newsys-newsystaylor) );

                                false


                                 true

newsysnonlinear := newsys-newsystaylor:
> is( newsysnonlinear = newsys-newsystaylor );
> is( newsysnonlinear = simplify(newsys-newsystaylor) );

                                 true


                                false
