Simple if-then-else statement not working as intended

EDIT: The full code this is included in can be found here (in the 'structure-refactor' branch, under Skins/ModernGadgets/@Resources/Scripts/SkinSettings/CpuSettings.lua)
I have spent a good 45 minutes trying to solve this puzzle, but to no avail. Here I have a few simple if-then-else statements, which ought to work as intended. However, try as I might, the 'isHwinfoAvailable == 1' if-then-else ALWAYS executes the code in the else section, even when isHwinfoAvailable is 1 (as proven by the !Log command in the else section).
So what is going on!?
(This code is for a CPU Meter settings skin. The ToggleCoreTemps function toggles the core temperatures on and off by calling a !CommandMeasure bang in the CPU Meter skin itself. That part itself works fine, the only part that isn't working is the 'isHwinfoAvailable == 1' if-then-else statement that the !CommandMeasure is contained in. It always executes the code in the else section, even when the condition should be true).
