Why is it so? Because:
4 < (0 | 6) and (0 | 6) < 2
(4 < 0 | 4 < 6) and (0 | 6) < 2 # local autothreading
(#f | #t) and (0 | 6) < 2 # evaluation
#t and (0 | 6) < 2 # reduction in boolean context(!)
(0 | 6) < 2 # short circuitry
(0 < 2 | 6 < 2) # local autothreading
(#t | #f) # evaluation
Sick, eh?
Thanks,
