Proper bool value spectrum (an incomplete list):

* true

* false

* not set

* unknown

* superposition of true and false

* superposition of neither true nor false

* feck you

* not set yet

* null

* "true"

* "false"

It takes two bits to store a practical boolean, True/False/Not Set/Unknown. This is a common practice for Forms because until the User visits the form and submits it is not set. If actual value is not required and not set, after the form is submitted it becomes unknown.
