But just as ideas exist in a context, so does the decision. If your team (for example) doesn’t have everyone know the language, then “yes if (false)” is just “no”. Businesses move and conditions change so keeping this “no-go” idea around as a “yes if” just means that people will try to resurrect it later. It may be a spurious idea, but you’ve given it a false blessing by attaching a conditional approval.
- humanrebar 4y ago"Yes if you can solve the halting problem" is better than a "no". It's "no, and there are mathematical proofs why it will never be a 'yes'". More realistically, you're more likely to hit "yes if there is compelling evidence that $choice is better than $status_quo with respect to $criteria". Sometimes that sort of evidence is expensive-to-impossible to demonstrate such that it's basically a "no", but again, it's a much more specific "no".
