Probably just an artifact of non-native English.

Judging by context, David probably meant more like "Remove the check for
the return value". I believe I've seen other non-native English speakers
use "judge" in a way similar to "check" or "test" in the context of
comparisons and error checking. (A search through my mailbox for "judge"
confirms this.)
