The inverse of validRole := role == admin || role == superadmin
is invalidRole := role != admin && role != superadmin or invalidRole := !(role == admin || role == superadmin) It is not invalidRole := role != admin || role != superadmin Think about it. No matter what value `role` has it has to be unequal to at least one of those constants and thus that expression is always true.
