Sorry, but I think that he has created several instances of a Boolean
with a "false" value.
I know that if you use the constants Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE you
will not create any new instances, but I think if you use "new" you create
a new instance (which is why Boolean should not have had a public
constructor, but rather a static getInstance() method, IMNSHO).
