Where did I claim to be a fan of binary thinking? How would you define 'binary
thinking'? How do stereotypes and binary thinking go together? Are you
stereotyping binary thinkers? (If such things exist?)

ROTFLMAO.
John, check your sig. You have used that sig to claim for months and
months that one must employ binary thinking to reach any sort of
decision.
Stereotypes facilitate binary thinking because, with a stereotype,
entire groups of people can be reduced to a single factor subject to a
preexisting conclusion. When you reduce your question to two single
factors, you have a binary proposition.
The fact that the making of a decision is the result of binary thinking does not
mean that the decision maker is only a binary thinker.
Before one has reduced the question to two single factors, one may well have
considered a multitude of factors. Does the reduction process make one a binary
thinker?
Have you ever made a choice from half a dozen (more or less) alternatives? How
did you make your choice?
