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?
