 I, on the other hand, had to fix a production problem that using “or” introducted.
I avoid this idiom because it fails on falsy values.

As with any other facility, one has to understand ALL implications!
It must be one of those intensely-frustrating errors to track-down, which is then oh-so-simple to fix!
Are you able to list (real, if suitably anonymised) examples of where the truthy/falsy was inappropriate, please?
