So if I resume:

I may be missing something, but honestly, Guido must have smoked some
heavy stuff to write such logic, has he ?
Several languages (e.g. Lisp, Bourne shell) behave the same way, i.e. "or"
returns the first element which is considered true while "and" returns the
last element provided that all preceding elements are considered true.

Ok then, why "or" does not return True, if the first element is
considered True ? Why returning the element itself. Any reason for that
? Because it's confusing, maybe people used to that logic find it
obvious, but I really don't.
