Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 > Because of the different type of return values it's not possible to do a
 strict check on the return value to see if a term was found.

 Consistency is good, but I wonder where the need for a strict check comes
 from.

 It should be possible to check with `if ( ! term_exists( 'events',
 'post_tag' ) )` if a term was not found, unless I'm missing something.
