Line 40 in 06b30a8

return true;

Seems like if the sensor is not attached the begin should fail?
Sparkfun does that:

However I have found that the result of begin() is not a reliable predictor of being able to get a temperature reading, in either way

Please update to the 2.0.0 release of the library:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-MLX90614-Library/releases/tag/2.0.0
and try that. The call to begin() now conditionally returns true/false based on successful initing of the sensor.
