I think the real problem is the name of the option, not the range of its accepted values. Should they have named it HOST_VERIFICATION_LEVEL or something similar, no-one would think it's boolean.

In that case "TRUE" shouldn't be a valid value.

I think that's because in the weakly typed language used, TRUE is a constant with a value of 1.
