    The return documentation states:

    (bool) True on success, false on failure.

    However, this is not true. This function uses update_option() under the hood, and returns its result verbatim. It’s not in the reference, but the Codex doc of update_option() states:

    (boolean)
    True if option value has changed, false if not or if update failed.

    update_option() will return false if the value has not changed, such as if the new value is the same as the old, and therefore so will update_blog_option(). Thus, just because it returns false does not mean there was an error.
