I think we should have a fairly high bar for deviating from those. For those who think ` bool(xr.Dataset(dict(x=False)))` should evaluate to `False`, what do you think `dict(x=False)` should evaluate to? IIUC, this is somewhat of an edge case — it's only possible to coerce `DataArray` to bool when there's exactly one element. (Not that we shouldn't resolve) > This question seems to me to be conceptually similar to the question I described in #3315: ""Should we treat a named DataArray and a single-variable Dataset as if they are the same?"" 👍 ","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,668717850
