Why wouldn't he? Wouldn't a term like 'switch logic' be much more intuitive?
A switch is either on or off, true or false.
- mikeash 9y agoI don't know, I'm just wondering if they're consistent about it, or if they've internalized terms like "boolean" to the point where they forget that they're named in the same way. Given how common such things are in many fields, it strikes me as weird to single out this particular instance. Along those lines, I also wonder if they object to measuring the power consumption of their boolean gates in "watts."
