For those who think bool(xr.Dataset(dict(x=False))) should evaluate to False, what do you think dict(x=False) should evaluate to?

good point

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)

I now understand the underlying problem better with your comments. My expectations were too naive about it. I cannot evaluate the consequences of changing this. I close this issue and hopefully users having this problem in the future will find this issue.
