There are two kinds or people in the world: those who go for false dichotomies, and those who don't. Which are you?

Is this radio buttons or checkboxes?

Apparently not.

Let's call it a short essay.

Well, so, sometimes, the false dichotomy is sort of appealing, from the perspective of simplifying a complex problem, or breaking something down to a black-and-white view of things, or for laughs. But other times, the false dichotomy really covers up a lot of important nuance in a situation. Then it's less appealing. You know?

So the really important question, then, is: wine or mixed drinks?
