You should be convinced. There is ONLY True or False in boolean algebra. No numbers at all. This has been the case forever. This is the book we used at University on this topic. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/Book ... 1688612952 Might be a bit old now, it was a while ago.You may be right but I'm not convinced. There are too many similarities for it to not be the case afaiac. For example, sum of products is an incredibly convenient method of deriving a logic expression from a truth table, works arithmetically and which cannot just be a coincidence.
I would say that in Boolean Algebra there is only True or False which tend to be given numerical values of 0 and 1. Addition and multiplication makes no sense with Boolean values.
Here, and above, you are conflating Booleans with Numerics. There is no addition, multiply, subtraction or division for Booleans, only And, Or, Xor and Not.
There is a proof somewhere that 1 is not just a value given to true, they are the same. It was proven sometime around the 30s for radio telegraphy. I would try to dig it out but I'm in danger of getting locked in at school
