I'm not sure whether you and Yvain are using "open question" the same way here. I think Yvain is just using it to mean "we don't know either way", not in the "not figured out yet but we want a real solution" sense of open problem.
Yes, but open problems that we won't come up with better answers than the answers already out there are not terribly useful to discuss.
But the point is not to discuss them, it's to show people that they should not assert 100% probabilities.
I don't really see sides here. It's more "the forecast says x%". So while reasonable people will admit to probability estimates other than 0 or 100%, that's because of the format the information is presented in.
