Due to the loose type association false (boolean) == 0 (integer).
Similarly, true (boolean) == (not) 0 (integer)
So, given that a Tinyint(1) can only return 0 and 1 this has a direct
1:1 mapping through the implied type casting of PHP to false and true.
That's what I meant by no-op (PHP will handle it for you)
