"No" is an important word because it's the only way you can say "yes". Imagine computers with only 1s and no zeros. Unless you can say no, you cannot wholeheartedly say yes. An offer you cannot refuse, or a question to which there is only one answer, are neither offers nor questions. Schopenhauer made the general semantic observation; in a world where everything is X, ipso facto nothing is X. Yes-men are really "nothing men".
