Agreed, but the statement in question is not

  if Correct then

also the expression 'equal(Correct, "Y")' is also not an atom but it works
because it is evaluated and returns an atom.

My problem is that 

   Correct = "Y" 

evaluates to a sequence rather than to an atom, in the context of an IF
statement. If the rules were changed so that it did what it looks like its trying
to do, no existing code would be broken and future code would be easier to write
and read.
