      "There need not be a distinguishable Logical type. Applications may have a Logical type distinct from both Number and Text (see 8.2 Distinct Logical), but Logical values may also be represented by the Number type using the values 1 (True) and 0 (False). This means that functions that take number sequences (such as SUM) may but need not include true and false values in the sequence."

      ● ISNUMBER() applied to a Logical value (constant or calculated) will return FALSE, and ISLOGICAL() applied to a Number will be FALSE, either directly or via a reference.
      ● TRUE will not be equal to 1, and FALSE will not be equal to 0, when they are compared using “=”.
      ● In a NumberSequence (such as when using SUM), Logical values are skipped when inside a range, but are included and automatically converted to a Number if provided as the NumberSequence itself.

      Description

      grammar: "if any are TRUE, it shall returns TRUE."

      Since TRUE and FALSE are not defined, this requires in fact a more elaborate resolution.
