The vast majority of yes/no questions you're likely to face won't support 5% intervals.
I agree [edit: actually, it depends on where these yes/no questions are coming from] , but think the questions I was looking at were in the small minority that do support 5% intervals.
Not "true, 60% confidence" (implying 40% unknown, I think, not 40% false)
Perhaps I should have provided more details to explain exactly what I did, because I actually did mean 60% true 40% false.
So, I already was thinking in the manner you advocate, but thanks for the advice anyway!
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
