The help option has confusing descriptions for boolean options:

facter --help
 
Commands:
 
  facter --list-block-groups              # List block groups
 
  facter --list-cache-groups              # List cache groups
 
  facter [options] [query] [query] [...]  #
 
  facter help [COMMAND]                   # Describe available commands or one specific command

      [--color], [--no-color]                          # Enable color output.

      [--list-block-groups], [--no-list-block-groups]  # List the names of all blockable fact groups.
