For some expressions, the ternary operator is more compact & readable.
For others (like this one imo) it doesn't really add anything, so I
prefer the if statement. In this case I think the if statement is more
readable since it communicates that we're overriding the default value
on certain generations (i.e. it's a standalone clause).
