Is the redundancy used for bools? I mean in actual practice.
C/C++ considers an nonzero number, as your true value but false is only zero. This would allow you to guard against going from true to false via bit flip but not false to true.
Other languages like rust define 0 to be false and 1 to be true and any other bit pattern to be invalid for bools.
