"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

I think that much of what is wrong here is the result of binary thinking.
The real world is not that simple. Many wish it so because that makes
everything easier.

Decision trees generally have values assigned to each binary choice and ones
personal values affect the chosen path through the decision tree. That's
why I prefer a person with well thought out moral values making these
decisions, i.e.: Bush. I shudder when I think of a leader who checks the
political wind before each decision.




The *decision* is the result of binary thinking. That does not mean that the
individuals making the decision are necessarily binary thinkers. If one uses a
decision tree to assist in selecting alternatives, he must still, eventually,
make a decision to adopt or not adopt a selected alternative.
