Huh...the left hand side must be a non-set scalar or row constructor.

Then there is some more rewording to be done since: "The result of ANY is
“true” if any true result is obtained." (v10; 9.22.4)

Maybe:

The result of ANY is “true” if the comparison returns true for any subquery
row; otherwise the result is “false” (or NULL if any of the comparisons
result in unknown)
