true, not strictly false. All interesting theories are "strictly " speaking false, because we don't have absolute truth. Well, that Napoleon is dead is absolutely true.

In what inertial frame[s] is Napoleon dead? There is at least one inertial frame in which he is alive if one accepts the 'block universe' interpretation of Minkowskian-Einsteinian space-time.
