Debug.Log(Time.time) prints continuously, Debug.Log(someValue) prints only once?

Question

Ok, this freaks me out. I basically have this:

 var collide:boolean = false;

 function Update (){
   if (blah) {
     collide = true;
     Debug.Log(collide);
     Debug.Log(Time.time);
   }
 }

My output is lots and lots of Time, but only a single 'true'.
So what the heck's happening?

Are values only printed in Debug.Log when they got changed, or something?
I don't think that's been like that all the time? I'm pretty sure I used to get continuous 'true's, too...
When did they change that?
Or can you set that as a preference somewhere and I accidentally hit the wrong button?

This is disturbing...
Here I thought my 'if' got only true for a single frame when it really goes on and on to be true...
Or am I wrong to assume by the pinting of 'Time' that my if is continuously true? o.o

And here I thought I had finally at least mastered the very base-di-basics of Debugging... -.-

do you have collapse turned on in your console? If you do, it will only show the boolean once when false, then once when true. Turn off collapse and try it.
