I never said I was correct, but you insist that you are, another characteristic of binary thinking. You seem very intent on pushing your "point", whatever it is. You replied to my post and want to insist that I address your chosen "point" which as I said, is usually fruitless as those that are stuck in their own mindset are usually not open to considering other possibilities.

I have not claimed that you are a binary thinker, just that you resemble a lot of the traits. Not being able to see shades of gray is almost the very definition of binary thinking. As is making absolute statements that leave no room for shades of gray.
