Your quote is wrong, the question is "does your opinion change". Typical answers would be yes or no. What does dichotomy mean?

- bumby 2y agoI'll try to be more generous with my description. When I brought up dich0timous thinking, it was not in response to "no, that wouldn't change my mind" but rather "the only options are to capitulate to the scam or fight it in a way that puts someone else at risk". There's a strange correlation between pedantry and dichotomous thinking in resarch literature. They are also over-indexed in STEM fields, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising when it's commonly encountered on this forum.
