The has_key? method receives a single key to be checked in the hash.
In your snippet, what you are passing to the has_key? method is the
result of evaluating this:

( ('closed' || 'feedback') && ('open' || 'analyzed') )

which is:

irb(main):002:0> ( ('closed' || 'feedback') && ('open' || 'analyzed') )
=> "open"

So you are testing only for the "open" key. I don't know what $DATA or
pr or numbers are in your snippet, but you are testing only for the
key "open".

Hope this helps,

Jesus.
