 false in the same scenario.
 > `is_post_type_archive()` returns true if `post_type` query variable is
 set, which is the case in your example. And `is_archive()` then actually
 returns true as well: [[BR]]

 I still find it inconsistent.  When you're on edit.php for non-custom post
 types (e.g., post), is_archive is false.  That's the point I was trying to
 illustrate.

 As far as I can tell, no other template conditional tags return true in
 the admin.
