Unless you set boundry conditions, "yes" or "no" are usually
_never_ the correct answer, except for things like direct
observation. E.g., "Did you see the accused shoot the victim?"

Otherwise, you can always posit some condition under which
either answer is wrong. Thus, in a court, yes or no opinions
are nearly always a response to some hypothetical. "Assume with
me.....etc....."

Accurate commentary, Doc. I've played the, "Just answer the question. Yes or
No. What are you trying to conceal here if you are unable to answer such a
simple question?" game (or variations of the same thing) thousands of times.
Often if you can get a person stumbling or ticked off that way, you can get
information they didn't want to give, or you can trip them so thoroughly
their statements have no value to their side. It's a great way to impeach a
witness and destroy their utility for your opposition.

Spoken by a true person whom can't give a yes or no answer.............
What happens when you take a test...............it's true or false
answers...........do you write an essay to the instructor on his answer
sheet?
I see why the judge blew his top!

Again, a judge will only allow such questions when posed as a
hypothetical.... I.e. with boundry conditions.
