I'm just a teaser, not an executionner.

Well, yes and no.  You correctly analyse that the initializer for TRUE is
redundant, as a matter of fact both initialisers are useless.
So I could have written :

enum BOOL { FALSE, TRUE };
or whatever typedef is appropriate.

But I prefer to make certain things more explicit.  I find it more readable.
Not exactly what you call "completely stupid" !

Now if you want to flame something completely stupid, look at this one :

#define FALSE 0==1
#define TRUE  1==1

Why will this fail ?
