- 2the problem with your analogy is that you can't split 'the sun' and 'shining' and insert a not in the middle. correct comparison would be 'if not the sun shining i stay home' which, if you're not yoda, you'd never say in english.controlbox– controlbox2020-10-05 09:31:26 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 9:31
- @controlbox This isn’t a problem with my analogy. But, like all analogies, it is limited and when you try to take it too far, it breaks. The point of the analogy (and for which is completely sufficient) is that it makes no sense in boolean algebra to add a comparison to a literal. It neither adds clarity nor reads naturally when “translated” into English.Konrad Rudolph– Konrad Rudolph2020-10-05 09:40:14 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 9:40

`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
