require(false) will REVERT, which is not the same thing as RETURN false.

I initially thought that using require() for those purposes was the best idea simply because of a gas refund. Following up with your post, I see that REVERT also undoes any state changes caused in the function which isn't desired here. Thanks for the direction!
