Technically the second part of this statement (my bold) is not 100% true - None and empty sequences and container types like list, tuple, dict, etc. are also evaluated False

Another little bit that I've just learned!!! Thank you!

It makes sense, as it seems to me that None, empty sequences and other empty container types like list, tuple, dict, etc. give me the same linguistic feeling as '0', '0.0' or an empty string.

All the best,
