Huh?  It makes it clear what's going on: the find-file part of the code
wants to make sure that hack-local-variables is called, so
hack-local-variables sets a var when it's called, and find-file checks
it to know whether that's been done or not.

It's reliable and contrary to the code you had, it doesn't need to care
about packages unrelated to find-file nor to hack-local-variables, nor
about variables which are similarly unrelated to find-file nor to
hack-local-variables.
