There's no way for me to answer truthfully whether teal is blue or green. It is neither. Anything I give gives a false answer. The data is invalid.

How would you feel about a test for "teal or blue" or "teal or green?" You still need to make binary choices, just along different boundaries. Would it make any difference?

  • if the question was "is this more blue or more green" it would be somewhat more agreeable. but there really just have to be a "can't decide" option as well.

Incorrect, it either lies on the blue side or the green side, you must choose. Neither is not an option.

  • If you gave me the exact same color code 20 times I might give you green 10 times and blue the other 10 because I genuinely can't tell the difference. So it's not a binary like you're claiming.

  • Sometimes the answer can be “I reject the premise.”

    I’m sure you’ve had conversations where that’s the answer you want to give.
