Using list comprehension (instead of a generator) to any/all where the items are side-effect free is a performance error

[john-parton]

When passing a generator to any() or all(), Python can perform short-circuit evaluation to avoid needless computation.

Directly passing a list using list-comprehension is generally not recommended, unless the list-comprehension has a side-effect (for example calling a method that sets attributes on an object)

There's at least one place in the code-base where it's safe to replace list comprehension with a generator and get the short-circuit optimization for "free."
