Ah OkCupid ...

[hoveringsombrero]

My main issue with most yes/no questions is either that it isn't that black and white,
OR, one can answer yes/no without agreeing or disagreeing.

e.g.

Could Evolution and Intelligent Design both be right?

Yes
No

With this sort of phrasing both answers are correct without having to state an opinion.
And furthermore, what is meant by "right"?
Right that said theories exist?

Could my toes be currently covered in grape jelly?
Yes, yes they could.
Are they?
That's not what the question asked.

The answer is clearly that all statements are:

true in some sense,
false in some sense,
meaningless in some sense,
true and false in some sense,
true and meaningless in some sense,
false and meaningless in some sense,
and true and false and meaningless in some sense.


Keep on, Eris!

I found you randomly.

I remember all those forever long questions on okay cupid. They're like shark teeth, get rid of one and two more will pop up in their place. It's even worse when the questions make no damn sense, like those.
