Why "of course"? It works for me:
<Zoppo>:~$ /bin/false --help
Usage: /bin/false [OPTION]...
Exit unsuccessfully.
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Report bugs to sh-utils-bugs@gnu.ai.mit.edu
<Zoppo>:~$ /bin/false --version
false (GNU sh-utils) 1.16
I suppose you typed:
<Zoppo>:~$ false --help
<Zoppo>:~$ false --version
<Zoppo>:~$ type false
false is a shell builtin
