I wonder is the reason "6" and "6." are treated as the same is because
"6." is read as "6.0"?

It’s somewhat similar to
value(“h “) is equal to value(“h”),
while
“h “ is not equal to “h”.
I’m not disturbed but appreciative that the engine tries to convert both sides
to numbers when doing a comparison. Just must remember that and use more
“string-y” ways to compare strings as only strings.
For example other functions can reveal the strings “6. “ and “6.” are not the
same string, such as length(“6. “) is not equal to length( “6.”).
