I don't get it. That doesn't work right when inputVar == "0".
Aah, but you didn't get to define right. :) For that particular
example 0 is not a valid response.

When I was talking about such error prone form of boolean operations, I
didn't expect to be right so quickly :p
Steven explained the truth notion with the Something/Nothing. "0" is
Something, 0 would be Nothing. I'm not sure it makes sens anyway. I
mean, I could easily argue that the number 0 is something. In the end I
wonder if I shouldn't just acknowledge the python mechanism without
trying to find any intuitive/natural/obvious logic in it, knowing that
sometimes the Truth lies far away from the Evidence.
