Hi Bob,
It is the same in VA Smalltalk. The code of false>>| is:
| aBoolean
"Answer true if either the receiver or aBoolean is true; answer false otherwise."
^aBoolean
This is about as simple an implementation as one can have. Anything else would require testing the class of the parameter (aBoolean) adding a fair amount of overhead for what I think is very little gain. I expect the error would be found soon anyway when the result is sent an #ifTrue: like message.

This has been this way for aeons, but it surprised me:
false | 'hello' ==> 'hello'
Does anything actually depend on this being this way?
