Even if it was, are you really going to think of every conditional as a tri-state boolean?

Or will you assume that one of the branches is safe to execute during failure?

Or will you count the number of bits in each conditional and assume more ones than zeroes is a true, with no error correction? Will you log that a bit has flipped or otherwise alert the operator? Will you consider that as evidence that an int has changed value too?

Will you store ints with three bits per bits also?

Error detecting codes have their place, but it takes more than just saying that true is 7.
