that's probably because "sys.stdout.closed" *is* a bool object:
>>> sys.stdout.closed
False
>>> type(sys.stdout.closed)
<type 'bool'>
there's no way the reflection system can figure out how a given boolean was
created; all it knows is that it gets an object of a given type.

have you tried things like
>>> help(sys.stdout.name)
and
>>> help(sys.stdout.write("hello"))
?
