Are you, by chance, talking about collapse conditions, where a grouped condition is always TRUE or FALSE?

WHERE TRUE
WHERE 1
WHERE <string value> = <the same string value>
WHERE <numeric value> = <the same numeric value>
WHERE <hardcoded formula> = <the same hardcoded formula or one that produces the same value>
WHERE NULL IS NULL
