In this case, the < key is important because, of course, the symbol is used to denote measurement values, and in its absence, a reading of "less than" an amount would be read as "equal to" the amount (eg, '<30mg' becomes '30mg').

So this system was written in Basic? Leaving the '<' off of '<=' in most languages does not become 'equal to' but instead assignment which would not be valid in the context of a comparison expression. If it really was some Basic language variant then the system has a bigger problem than this typo bug.
