I think this applies equally to black-and-white thinking. Intellectual laziness can dress itself up in many ways.
The Meaningness blog[0] sums this up well:
> Confused stances[1] are attitudes to meaningness that refuse to acknowledge nebulosity. One strategy is to fixate meanings, attempting to deny their nebulosity by trying to make them solid, eternal, and unambiguous. Another is to deny meaningfulness altogether, or to say that it is not important, or cannot be known.
