Not quite true, because neither of those statements refer to a numerical
value. They depend on something else: "Glotmorf's Entropy is higher than
the cutoff for syllable restrictions", which would be false.

Of course, "Glotmorf's Entropy is lower than the cutoff for syllable
restrictions" is also false, but a rule would tend to only check one of
those statements, based on the way it is phrased.

Rules which assume that one of a number of different cases has to be
true could have a problem. Are there any of those?
