Subject: Now that's surprising.

Does anyone else think that the following little program is  an instance of
Ruby violating the POLS by producing nil? I can fix it by uncommenting the
commented line but I don't think that that should be required.

def truthTest
    result = true
    result = false unless result
    # return result
end

p truthTest

There is, nevertheless, a certain respect and a general duty of humanity
that ties us, not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to
trees and plants. -Michel de Montaigne, essayist (1533-1592)
