It's a false dichotomy because it falsely implies there are only two options. Better than either are the other options which lie in between.

- keepamovin 2y agoOh, I see. That's a good point. But I don't think hu3's comment was suggesting there's only two options, just illustrating some possible margins to describe the landscape. Maybe stavros' was hallucinating that strawman reduction in there, is what I think. Like you don't have to say it's a false dichotomy unless that's the only way you read it. The existence of something between the margins, should be obvious. Anyway, haha! :)
- Paul-Craft 2y agoWell, it almost always becomes an actual dichotomy soon, for sufficiently large values of "soon."
- keepamovin 2y agoYes, the compounding effects of previous architectural decisions, but not if you take a balanced path, guided by awareness of the two extremes. So it needn't. Hahaha! :)
