"False or True" is True, and then it reduces to "False == True" which is
false.

There's no "x == (y or z)" construct to compare x separately to both y
and z, the "or" will evaluate to the first one that's true and then is
used in the rest of the expression. If you wanted to write "x == y or x
== z" with only a single x, you'd do "x in (y, z)".
