I absolutely agree. For the Discussion. nodata is a valuable information, and is getting lost when dealing as desired value. Although the OR part needs more Discussion. For consistency that has to be nodata as well. What about nodata OR 0? In my opinion nodata always needs a discrete treatment to avoid generating fallcious information.
