So #28 is false. Because there are only 5 different muscles on the dorsum of the foot (extensor digitorum longus, extensor digitorum brevis, extensor hallucis longus, extensor hallucis brevis, and dorsal interosseous muscles).
Compare this to the 10 different muscles on the sole of the foot: flexor digitorum brevis, abductor digiti minimi, abductor hallucis longus, quadratus plantae, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, lumbricles, adductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, and flexor digiti minimi brevis.
More muscles/tendons mean finer motor control :D
