x >>> 0 changes a negative integer to an unsigned (positive) 32-bit integer. You can have integers greater than 32 bits. They're represented internally as floats. Bitwise operators make 32-bit assumptions, with the top bit as a sign bit, unless you do x >>> 0, in which case you can revert a sign bit overflow back to a positive integer. If you have a positive integer that's greater than 32 bits, x >>> 0 === x fails. The expression (84294967295 >>> 0 === 84294967295) is false.

Don't even get me started on negative zero.
