I suspected that, but was unsure. If truth is gradient, then is false
a truth value of 0, and true a value of more than 0?
I wonder whether {lo jei carmi gusni} is different from {lo ni carmi gusni}.
Perhaps there is an upper limit on {lo jei c g} (e.g. a value of 1),
but no upper limit on {lo ni carmi gusni} (allowing for infinite brightness).
What do you reckon?
