Why would inline runs no matter whether condition is true or false?

I have the followig and it should only add [RE-year] if year is greater than original_year. However, it adds [RE-year] to the path even when the year and original_year match.

# inline
inline:
  album_fields:
    rerelease: 1 if $year > $original_year else 0

# tagging
paths:
  default: %the{$albumartist}/$album - [$original_year] [$catalognum] [$media-$format] [${bitdepth}bit] %if{$rerelease, [RE-$year]}/$albumartist - $album - $track - $title

EDIT:
I just realized, both values are probably seen as strings. Going to test theory.1

Nope:
rerelease: 1 if int($year) > int($original_year) else 0

Just got back to this and testing… Same results.
