That's personal preference and feel free to ignore it,  but I generally
find the code easier to read like 
if (!trial_state)
	do stuff;
	goto out;

<rest of the code follows here>

Do we really need it with runtime access?

We can't completely ignore the failed setvariable here, as it will affect
the entire code path from that point onwards.  Any checks after an update
will fail since the variable wont be there.
