That's what I just said . . . only better, more succinct, and not quoted from Wikipedia.
You asked for an example and I gave you one. Take your F, and cry about it quietly, will you.
You want another without "figurative language"? How about a mobius strip, a physical object? If I say a mobius strip has two sides, the statement is
both true and false.
How about the Bible? If I were to say that "the bible is true" the statement could be either true or false because the bible contains both truth and myth. If I asked "is the bible true or false", the correct answer could be "both" or "neither" depending on whether relative truth or absolute truth is considered.
How about logical examples. As you should know, in Boolean logic, a statement can have two values, true or false. So . . . the statement "It rains today" can be either true or false.
Or in mathematics. It is known that false can
imply true.
CLAIM: 2=5
PROOF [False proof.] 2=5 therefore 0x2=0x5 therefore 0=0. Clearly 0=0, so 2=5 .
Of course this is wrong and 2≠5 . The mistake is that we start from a false premise, that of 2=5 , and then use completely correct methods (multiply an equation on both sides by the same number) to arrive a true statement, that 0=0 . That process is logical: false can imply true. However, the mistake in the "proof" is to think that only true can imply true, as then we are lead to believe that 0=0 makes 2=5.
