For a wide variety of reasons, Rakudo currently implements Bool as a fundamental type rather than an enumeration. As such, Bool.pick is acting the same as if one had written "Int.pick" or "Num.pick" -- it's treating the invocant as a list of one element and then returning the type object directly. And Bool as a type object always returns false because it is undefined. For now, the workaround is to do (False,True).pick until we can properly implement .pick on enumerations, and figure out how to turn Bool into one (or convince the specification that Bool is not really an enumeration :-).
