Not counting the misspelling of proper, there is nothing nonsensical
about it.  Furthermore although the C++ standard doesn't use those
exact words, it does imply that the statement is true.

Incidentally, I think the word "bald" doesn't mean what you think it
means.  The statement "the sun is shining today" could accurately,
even if perhaps confusingly, be termed a "bald statement".
