sometimes when i feel my code has too many confusing states, i like to stop, take a deep breath, and open the MSDN page for the MsoTrioState enum.

MsoTrioState is "a tri-state Boolean value". it has five possible values. only two of them are supported.

the only supported values are true and false.

....and true is NEGATIVE one?!
AND 1 for true isn't supported?!!??!

...

I am torn between enraged screaming, and bewildered sobbing. That truly is a wonder.
Thank-you.

For today's 10,000, the actual truth from 20 years ago:

`TRUE | FALSE | FILE_NOT_FOUND`

not to mention the fact that "true" is _negative_ one, not just one. That's not confusing at all.
