In general, you should always use `||` and `&&`. Except for expressions like follows: system "false" or raise "False return value" Note how you don't need any parentheses in this case, but you would if you used `||` or `&&`. Think of `or` and `and` more like how you think about `if` or `unless` (as in, all 4 are for control flow). In fact, all `||`, `&&`, `or`, `and` under the hood work exactly the same (except for the priority). It's rather that the verbose ones were designed for the usecase I wrote about.

Hi
p(1 and 2 or 3 and 4)
1. how many brackets do we need?
2. in my opinion the result should be 2, not 4.
What do you think?
