  The logical operator NOT negates a simple condition.  The truth value
  of a negated simple condition is the opposite of the simple
  condition's truth value.  Thus, the truth value of a negated simple
  condition is true only if the simple condition's truth value is
  false.  It is false only if the simple condition's truth value is
  true.
