Answer 1

Because PHP. Get used to the inconsistency. You will break the template completely =)
www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php

If you compare a number with a string or the comparison involves numerical strings, then each string is converted to a number and the comparison performed numerically.

www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.conversion

The value is given by the initial portion of the string. If the string starts with valid numeric data, this will be the value used. Otherwise, the value will be 0 (zero).
