-Use this rule to forbid truthy values that are not quoted nor explicitly typed.
+Use this rule to forbid non-explictly typed truthy values other than ``true``
+and ``false``, for example ``YES``, ``False`` and ``off``.
 
-This would prevent YAML parsers from transforming ``[yes, FALSE, Off]`` into
-``[true, false, false]`` or ``{y: 1, yes: 2, on: 3, true: 4, True: 5}`` into
-``{y: 1, true: 5}``.
+This can be useful to prevent surprises from YAML parsers transforming
+``[yes, FALSE, Off]`` into ``[true, false, false]`` or
+``{y: 1, yes: 2, on: 3, true: 4, True: 5}`` into ``{y: 1, true: 5}``.
