M-Query NaN and IEEE 754 Discrepancy

[houghtonap]

My limited understanding of IEEE 754 and NaN is that it is not less than, equal to, or greater than any other number. So I'm a little confused why

{ #nan < 0, #nan = 0, #nan > 0 }

returns

{ true, false, false }

Can someone point me to the documentation that describes this behavior? 

I have read the Power Query Language specification, Relational Operators section and it indicates:

• If either operand is #nan, the result is false for all relational operators.

Is there another place in the documentation that overrides this statement?

This might be a good question for Ben Gribaudo?
