According to the API, the constructor for Boolean that takes a
String argument...
Allocates a Boolean object representing the value true if the string argument is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true". Otherwise, allocate a Boolean object representing the value false.
Note that "JUNK" is not equal to "true" (even ignoring case), so the wrapped boolean value is false.
