bash test -n && test -z return tru


from reading the bash man pages, I would have thought the -n and -z were mutually exclusive. Therefore I don't understand this result:

~>$ [ -n $(which nonexisingfilename 2>/dev/null) ] && [ -z $(which nonexistingfilename 2&>/dev/null) ] && echo hello
hello
~>$


can anyone help explain this?
