This explanation 100% correct and probably 80% confusing without the following,
especially because "is" is not capitalized:IS and IS NOT are logical operators
in SQL. NOT is not a unary operator when preceded by IS.
In most non-relational languages "NULL IS NOT TRUE" is parsed as:
value(NULL) operator(IS) (operator(NOT) value(TRUE)).
That is NOT how SQL works. In SQL, it is:
value(NULL) operator(IS NOT) value(TRUE).
