> Well this just sounds like more reason to use a point scale rather than calling the entire idea a waste of time.
Again, I think we're kind of on the same page, but our solutions are different. The original question refused any kind of nuance, and we both seem to agree it's not a question that should ignore nuance. You choose to answer a binary question with a grading system, I choose to substitute a different question.
Well, I think the binary version still works, even if I see possible improvement. While you think the binary version doesn't work. So sort of the same page, sort of not. Shrug.
In particular 'slightly less evil' is not the goal.
