Methinks you are sharper than most.  You're indeed right.  If an "if"
function evaluates to zero (or null or nothing, depending on
circumstances), it is regarded as false.  Hence it won't execute the
script in curly braces  {}

I think we can be confident there is something else at work, like, for
example, the post values he mentions are different (sub_score vs.
add_score).  Once we see that, we know exactitude is lacking, and there
may be more information missing.  That's why I asked him for more
details.

kind regards,
