: Is this title suitable for a chapter section? Suppose I am writing a chapter about some deep technical subject (say, for instance, "boolean variables"). This theme is riddled with idiosyncrasies

Im tempted with

The true and false of Boolean Variables...
There is nothing !true about this.
When you can't tell your true from your not-so-false
The universal !false!

Depends on how formal or informal the technical writing is and whether the target audience is beginner's or advanced.

A more specific and accurate chapter would be ideal. "Ins and Outs" is too vague.

An informal, jokey title is perfectly appropriate. This is especially true if, as I surmise, you're writing a progrmming manual of some sort. Computer science is a pretty informal field, after all. It's almost expected.

The title isn't very eye-catching, but it's a common enough turn of phrase and there's nothing wrong with it, as such.

It's not that it's unsuitable, but the word play of "Ins and Outs" isn't very well matched with the subject of "Boolean Variables." "Ins and Outs" sounds like it's more about GPIO pins.

I'd be tempted to do something like;

"If This_Chapter == About_Boolean_Variables {Read}"

;)
