Well, if function were named 'screenInputValid', then it would be pretty
obvious.

*IMHO* (emphasis mine), this makes for far clearer and easier to
understand code.

My biggest problem with having variables that are used to indicate
logical results is that it's not always obvious what the value of those
variables are?

Just the other day I ran into some code that was testing the result of a
function ... 'if result = True' (where true was a variable in the
program), but result was a boolean variable and True was a alpha
initialized to 'Y'.
