Why is if not var == nil not running if var is 1?

Simple piece of code, supposed to print works is not doing so. I really can't understand this. This is code:

local var = 1
if not var == nil then
    print("works")
end

Operator precedence fooled you:

if not asd == nil then

is equivalent to

if (not asd) == nil then

Try 

if not (asd == nil) then
