The hard truth nobody wants to hear: a single boolean value takes up an entire byte in memory, wasting 7 perfectly good bits. It's like buying an 8-bedroom mansion just to store a houseplant. Memory optimization purists lie awake at night thinking about those wasted bits while the rest of us just keep adding more RAM to our machines. Sure, we could pack 8 booleans into a single byte with bit manipulation, but who has time for that when there's a deadline tomorrow and the client just changed the requirements again?
