If you ain't wrong, you're right
If it ain't day, it's night
If you ain't sure, you might
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't dry, it's wet
If you ain't got, you get
If it ain't gross, it's net
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't sis, you can't miss
It's got to be your brother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One way or the other?
If it ain't full, it's blank
If you don't spend, you bank
If it ain't Dee, it's Frank
Gotta be this or that

Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant about "anything": I meant something asserted, a statement, anything one reads or hears, is this-or-that factual, and so on. For example, when I read an essay or article in a publication, what we used to call newspapers and such, I need to evaluate what I read for it's truth-value. The same in a publication by a biological evolutionist.

It's the predicate of something that started with an "if" clause. Did you know that in some programming languages, you can't even have an if-then without an or-else, because the result of the if-test might be false, and if you didn't have an or-else, you would not know what the fuck to think.

I still don't know what you meant.
FYI, I programmed in a dozen different languages between college and when I left my programming job.
