This will cause more misconceptions yet. validate_presence_of :something
Means to me something.prensent? And false.present? # => false So even we call presence_of_boolean we still using the word presence that means that I should expect to Rails call present? validates_inclusion is not “hacky” to me, it is exactly what you want, check if your value is included in the [true, false] array.
