Yes but this is about the difference between:

  engage_turbo_encabulator(True, False, True, False, True, False, True, False)
 

and:

  engage_turbo_encabulator(
    enable_hydrocoptic=True,
    allow_girdlespring=False,
    activate_marzelvanes=True,
    sync_trunnions=False,
    stabilize_panametric=True,
    lock_detractors=False,
    invert_logarithms=True,
    suppress_lunar_wane=False
  )
  

The latter is how you should use such a function if you can't change it (and if your language allows it).

If this was my function I would probably make the parameters atrributes of an TurboEncabulator class and add some setter methods that can be chained, e.g. Rust-style:

  encabulator = (
    TurboEncabulator.new()
    .enable_hydrocoptic(True)
    .allow_girdlespring(False)
    .enable_marzelvane_activation(True)
    .enable _trunnion_syncing(False)
    .enable_param_stabilization(True)
    .enable_detractor_locking(False)
    .enable_logarithm_inversion(True)
    .enable_lunar_wane_supression(False)
    .build()
  )
