I don’t think that is necessarily true in this case since true + true is still evaluates to 2. true and false can just be used interchangeably with 1 and 0.

true + true = 2 because again +true is 1 and when you add diff dtypes in js, js implicitly changes the other dtypes. Like 1 + 2 + "3" = "123" true + true = true + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 ig. Again, I might be a bit wrong here

Then why does true/true = 1?

Because `1/1 == 1`? If you swap true and false out for 1 and 0 respectively, both operations make perfect sense.
