Why does google analytics not segment when using != operator?

I am playing around with Google analytics and for some reason can't get dynamic::ga:eventAction expressions to work correctly:

Both != and == yield the same results, see below:

There is no error, what actually happened is that you used a segment instead of a filter which is why you're seeing both data. See here.

Segments only separate data and do not filter out anything.

Hope that helps. :)
