The way I see it is that a regular trig is never going to change, so there’s nothing to evaluate…

If it did consider a regular trig as “played” or “true”, then:

Placing a pre condition following a regular trig would always play that trig. Placing a not pre condition after a regular trig would never play that trig.

For the first example, no need to lock a pre condition on a trig as an extra step if it won’t do anything, it’s always going to play anyway…

For the second example, no need to place a trig and put a condition on it, it’s never going to play…
