I encountered the same issue a few weeks ago and concluded that the `if` SASS condition wasn’t working as I thought. I’d be very happy to know if such a thing is possible though:

Having “if this site\_setting == value then” in a SASS file.

I’m just putting this here in case it would be of any usefulness:
