Quino Schütz@maxleibman You post an either/or question and provide Yes and No as possible answers. I'm puzzled … 🧐
Melvin Gundlach@quino_schuetz @maxleibman It’s a Yes / No question. The „or at least“ section is still part of the single option.
@melgu @maxleibman If you see it that way, then it would be two questions for which the given options are inappropriate as well.
@quino_schuetz @maxleibman What? No, it’s a single question. How can you interpret my post differently?
„Should we do either of X or Y?“ is a single question that can be answered with Yes or No. It’s not an exclusive „or“, but an inclusive „or“.
@melgu You had to remove information so that the question can now be answered only with either Yes or No. That proves my point. Because only your reformulated question is a straightforward Yes/No question. As you will agree, Yes and No are mutually exclusive. If they weren't, both Yes and No would apply at the same time, which is impossible. Yes and No are the complete answers. If information beyond Yes or No is desired, further questions, and thus at least a second one, are required.
@quino_schuetz Wow, you obviously don’t *want* to understand, while everyone else here, clearly does. Have a good day.
@melgu It is very convenient to allege that someone doesn't want to understand. If you just wanted to leave the discussion whitout further reasonable arguments, then you have succeeded. Hence, I also quit. Have a good day, too.
