True.
However, its entirely your fault
You see, you're asking a question to which there is no correct answer.
After all, you're asking for >=2p.
But 2 pair does not exist on a J55 board.
So there is no correct way to interpret this query.
It's just impossible.
However, given that this is a computer program, it's forced to either assign TRUE or FALSE to QQ being >=2p.
Given that:
a) If the board were JT55 QQ wóuld clearly be >2p
b) QQ on J55 cóuld be interpreted as 2 pair, depending on your definitions
the software goes with TRUE.
To clarify point b further, if someone asks you if QQ on J55 is >=2p and you are
forced to answer YES or NO, then, even though the question is faulty, it's simply a clear YES.

QQ is not considered as 2 pair.
It's considered as
beating 2 pair.
After all, you're asking for >=2pair.
If you enter a condition "2pair", then you'll find that QQ is not included in it on this board.
However, once again, the reason for the confusion here is that 2 pair does not exist on a J55 board. And overpairs fall into a range of borderline hands that can either be considered TRUE or FALSE. They're either better or worse than 2 pair, depending on how you want to define things. There's just no clear answer. And yet the software is forced to choose one or the other.
