Fixes #38508

[AleksandrHovhannisyan]

The changes here are technically beyond the scope of the original issue, but I felt that the original wording was a bit verbose and inaccurate (both true and false are technically "set" values). Is this okay or should I split these changes into a separate issue/PR?
