Not really, the legal profession has known about this for centuries.

(Princess Zara, presenting Sir Bailey Barre, Q.C., M.P.)
     A complicated gentleman allow to present,
     Of all the arts and faculties the terse embodiment,
     He's a great arithmetician who can demonstrate with ease
     That two and two are three or five or anything you please;
     An eminent Logician who can make it clear to you
     That black is white--when looked at from the proper point of view;
     A marvelous Philologist who'll undertake to show
     That "yes" is but another and a neater form of "no.

>From Gilbert & Sullivan's "Utopia, Ltd", dating back to 1893. Python 2
continues this excellent tradition of permitting truth to be redefined
at will, but Python 3 adopts the view of the narrow-minded pedant who
still believes that two and two makes four. It's an opinionated
language, and that helps you to avoid weirdnesses :)
