The challenge hints can sometimes be incorrect.
It usually happens when you deviate from the expected results in unexpected ways. In this case, the challenge was expecting you to perform an ordinary (case sensitive) comparison with the string "JavaScript". Your creative (and frankly, superior) answer confused the checker. Do it the "ordinary" way to pass the challenge.
And you may want to report this as a bug on the Support page, since your answer did indeed satisfy the stated conditions of the challenge.
