if ("true") makes a lot of sense in our times of alternative facts and 
moral relativism... (:-))

<OT>

In fuzzy logic proper ("fuzzy logic" refers neither to fuzzy nor to 
logic (:-)) you could have (so-called linguistic variable):

if almost true then
    s1;
else
    s2;
end if;

and follow both paths with different levels of confidence. A potentially 
interesting language which could be efficiently implemented on modern 
multicores. The process of splitting paths is called "fuzzification." 
When you must bring them back to a single choice using some method like 
selecting the path with the highest confidence level, that is called 
"defuzzification."
