I get it now. As I suggested in response to Stephen, [] and [1] spell False and True only in boolean contexts (if/while headers) where they are implicitly wrapped with a bool() call, which is to say, where their boolean value is extracted from them. As you point out, there is information loss as all other context-irrelevant details are ignored.
