Confusion with the results of starts-with() and a non

Hi all -

In the process of trying to illustrate something for a coworker, I stumbled
across some behavior that has me Very Confused. I would expect the
starts-with function to return 'false' when the second argument is not a
string, but the opposite happens: it returns 'true'.

Can someone please help me understand what's happening here? Is this a sort
of type casting, or something else?

Thank you in advance.
Best,
Bridger
