(= 1 10) => false
(= 2 10) => false

(= 10 10) => true
(= false false) => true
(= (= 1 10) (= 2 10)) => true

class BoolTest {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println(Boolean.TRUE.equals(System.class) ==
Boolean.FALSE.equals(System.class)); // prints "true", System.class being
an arbitrary choice, like the choice of "identity", a fn.
    }
}

The domain for functions true? and false? is arbitrarily vast (possibly,
the entire set of values as I believe they never throw exceptions), and the
range is the limited space [True, False]. Very few domain-values would,
expectedly, map to True, as it is a strict equality check. Your expression
checks the equality of false with itself.
