Not that it's important, but if you use the standard signature delimiter
of dash dash space return, most newsreaders will cut your signature when
quoting. Other posters generally won't bother playing with it.

Let's see if that works. I've never seen anyone that messes with a signature,
but I guess I've not seen everyone!

Try again John. I still think delusions is the more appropriate term.


What is inappropriate about my signature?

In my opinion, binary thinkers are delusional -- simple as that.

Then all decision makers would be delusional, using your logic.

I would hope that a decision maker would come to his decision after
careful consideration of all the variables. I define a binary thinker
who thinks only in terms of right/wrong, black/white. I much prefer the
former.

Going with a "different" definition for binary (off or on), a binary thinker
is one who thinks only in right and "not right", or wrong and "not wrong"
which leaves open a theoretical large grey area.

Example: I think what you said is right.... or I think what you said is not
right (but not necessarily wrong), etc. Judges appear to think along these
lines.

This holds true even more for black/white: if not black, then not
necessarily white, thus grey, etc.

My sig line doesn't say that all decision makers are 'binary thinkers'. It says
that decisions are the *result* of binary thinking.
