> For every "unknown" value, the sgbd will NOT decide for you if it's true or false

But it did decide. It could either return the row, or not return the row - there's no middle ground. By not returning the row, it implied that null is not not 'crazy'.

If it actually wanted not to decide, it could return an error.

Rather than make you deal with those pesky errors, we could suppress the errors and only process the records we know how to decide.

Win-win?
