I recognize your clarification of “discovery” and conclusion from that research, but I do think there is a strong argument that in terms of the stochastic usage of a nonlinear system the “undefined” state of your nullable boolean is itself a falsey state.

You can argue whatever you like, but if the unknown IS actually known, why can't scientists tell us their secrets? How many people would have to be in on the scheme?

And this isn't just a one off, this is a systemic, institutional shortcoming, I encounter several instances of it every day just in my regular social media feeds.
