Description
See https://reactjs.org/docs/conditional-rendering.html.
When discussing conditional rendering, it's stated that React ignores falses, but it's not clear what happens in the true case. For instance, this.props.shouldSkip || dom.div(null, ...). I'm pretty sure that the actual behaviour is that all booleans are ignored, but it would be nice if it was firmly documented.

Research direction
Start with the conditional rendering documentation at reactjs.org/docs/conditional-rendering.html and review the discussion of falsy values alongside the provided this.props.shouldSkip example. Confirm how boolean true is rendered or ignored, then update the documentation so the behavior of boolean values is explicit and the example is unambiguous.
