No more so than zero being false. Zero exists too (check my bank
balance). Once you've accepted non-Boolean types having Boolean
values, the logic of what value they have is always going to be a bit
hairy. If you're unsure of the logic, just test against a value or a
range. After all, what value do you *expect* a time of day to have
when interpreted as a Boolean? If you don't have an expectation, why
are you interpreting it as a Boolean?
