And asking a strictly "yes or no" question is, IMO, a good way to get the debate into a corner. I've somewhat lost the thread (pun accidental) on what exactly was the question between you and Hilmar, and I'm not sure that my dislike of such questions applies at all.

In my experience, insisting on a binary answer equals "I don't want to know the context, I'm not interested in details, I don't need information, I just want to make a point".

And I'm not trying to have a say in the matter at all - physics is my weak spot, mostly because the way I had it in my physics courses was riddled with inaccurate maths and rough approximations. This is just thread drift.
