That's a really nice list of statements, David. It made me smile. Those
who are either bothered or intrigued by considering their truth values
would probably find George Lakoff's work on metaphors and category theory
interesting. I recommend the long work _Women, Fire, and Dangerous
Things_ and the short work _Metaphors We Live By_.
