Dang, I would have said it does have a value.  For one thing, in

     if a:
         print 'more or less True'
     else:
         print 'evidently not'

None doesn't follow the default, so it seems like "if" has discovered
some sort of value in there.

(But of course in any case, whether this is a value or not a value, the
value of the question is certainly in question.)
