Description
### Link to the page(s) on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates
The page about[ macro arguments](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/resource-properties/arguments?version=1#supported-types)
If I use `boolean` as datatype of argument I get the error -> dbt is expecting only `bool`
pls either fix documentation or extend the behavior to accept `boolean` as value

Research direction
Open the linked macro arguments documentation page and inspect its supported-types section; the issue reports that `boolean` is documented while `bool` is accepted. Reproduce the discrepancy if a dbt setup is available, then update the documentation so the listed type matches the supported behavior; the page should no longer mislead users.
