>>In a loosely typed language (which CF is), 20 IS true.  There is NO
DIFFERENCE.

A loosely typed laguages means that values may be automatically converted as needed, it does not mean that they all are the same. 20 is NOT true: 20 is converted to true if one looks at it as a boolean value.

>>by CF has no concept of boolean vs.
integer.  This is a trait of loosely typed languages.

Not exacltly, there is no difference either in C, Java, etc.
But in C or Java, you will never get any integer value as a result of a boolean _expression_, you will always get 0 or 1 (or -1)
