> Redundant conditions are nice because they require no changes to the database [...] This makes them useful for queries that are only sometimes run or where indexes can't be easily added to the main conditions
but where possible I typically prefer adding an index on the expression that the query is using (if your database supports it) since it expresses your intent more clearly. A redundant condition is more likely to get "optimized away" by other developers or changes in the query planner.
