It's not that cut & dry, as bash is doing evaluations; 0 and 1 can both be "true" if simply used without an evaluation, but add logic and it starts to matter (grep returns 0 if hit, 1 if not).

    [[ 0 ]] && echo "hit 0"
    [[ 1 ]] && echo "hit 1"
    grep -q 127 /etc/hosts && echo "hit grep"
    grep -q 128 /etc/hosts || echo "miss grep"
