It is important to note that in any domain, whenever you reduce the number of alternatives to two, it sets the stage for vicious partisanship.

Only a sith would think that only a sith deals in absolutes. I reject your absolutist opposition to absolutes.

Sometimes there really are just two choices. Dualisms get a bad rap.
