How is this for a confusing answer... it both does and doesnt.

I have a feeling the secret to unraveling that confusion comes from  
this:

'true and false and some of the very few objects known to the VM'

does that mean that I can't go and find these variables anywhere? that  
they arent true
global variables they are some sort of special global?
