The actual representation of any attribute type in Rails will depend on the underlying DBMS as the mapping changes from platform to platform. But if we assume we're talking about SQLite as an example, it uses a SQLite boolean which is actually stored as 0 for FALSE or 1 for TRUE, and both of these are considered "trueish" values by Ruby.
