| 5 | If the package is not installed (taking into consideration |
| 6 | package.provided also), then built_with_use should return *False*. |

| 8 | How can a package be built_with_use anything if it's not installed? |
| 9 | You're saying that in this situation the answer is "unknown". I'm saying |
| 10 | that it's logically impossible for the answer to be True, therefore the |
| 11 | answer is False. There is no third option, because it's a Boolean |
| 12 | function. |
