Expand the use of boolean operators in validation logic rules

I recently ran into a problem while trying to create a validation logic rule that had to launch an application if a file version was lower then x OR the file didn't exist.

Desktop Authority changes the OR into an AND. This is apparently bij design cause this is what I received from support:

If the AND/OR is forcing you to use one or the other then that is the only acceptable combination. Sometimes the Boolean Operators that were used prevents specific configurations. Some examples of rules that can’t be used are:

-IF, OR, AND

-IF, AND, OR

-IF, OR NOT

 

There is no logic in this for me so my request is to expand the possibilities on this point.

Thank you.

    Boolean operators are fundamental in enhancing the flexibility and precision of validation logic rules within various systems. By employing operators such as AND, OR, and NOT, one can construct complex conditions that validate data more effectively. For instance, in form validation, using the AND operator ensures that multiple criteria are met simultaneously, such as a password requiring a minimum length AND the inclusion of special characters. The OR operator, on the other hand, offers versatility by validating inputs that meet at least one of several conditions, like accepting Fintechzoom-Pro various file formats (PDF OR DOCX).
