It goes back to the way xTalks handle values. True and false are 
strings, not numbers (the constant true has value "true", and 
likewise for false). This is how boolean values are reported 
throughout the language, as the strings "true" or "false".

I suppose xTalks could special-case equalities by making the string 
"true" equal the string "1", and "false" equal "0", but it would be 
kind of opaque to scripters, I think. (Handy, but hard to understand.)
