Its not that false propagates out, it's how Python does a comparison of lists.
The rules for equality are what matter here not the rules of boolean conversion.
comparison operations return -1, 0 or 1.
You're thinking of the cmp() builtin (Python 2.x only, not 3.x). General comparison
operations such as == < <= is etc. return True or False.
Comparison operators haven't depended on cmp() for a long time. You can google "rich
comparison operators" for more info:
