Being "called John Smith, living at 12 High Street and having an interest in titty bars" is a boolean too. I'm not sure I'd want that to leak out though, ..., aw crap.
- mkl 6y agoBoolean means there are only two possible values, so the name and address mean that isn't boolean. Only the last bit is, by itself.
- jjgreen 6y agoI was trying to demonstrate that any information can be trivially encoded as booleans -- "my name is John Smilh", "My name is John Brown", ... and so on gives a series of boolean valued statements, and if you know the answer to all of them, then you know the name of the subject. Booleaness is no barrier to information leakage.
