Hmmm...  From that, I don't know if you do.  Which do I record in the
understands_boolean column of the database record for you?  Dang, I
knew I should have had *two* flags: known_to_understand_boolean and
known_to_not_understand_boolean.  That would have been much simpler
than allowing NULL for UNKNOWN....
