> She completely misunderstood how functions and function invocation work.

How can that be? I remember learning about functions such as f(x) = ax + b in the fifth grade if I am not mistaken and learning about functions in programming was extremely natural. I studied programming in high school taken from the very basic and nobody had troubles with how functions worked. It was so math like that it was simply a non-issue. I am really interested to understand what the problem was and how did she figure it out eventually.

But isn't Boolean algebra based on exactly that? Isn't this the pillar field covered by the mathematical logic, how can it be wrong?
