12. You fail to see the point he was trying to make.
You also fall for the frequent misconception that agnosticism is somewhere between theism and atheism. There is no between.

The lightswitch is on, or it is off. You can try to hold it at some position in between, but the light under its control will either receive power (on) or it will not (off).

Some things in life are actually dichotomous, and no amount of pooh-poohing duality will change that fact. Much like the on/off of the lightswitch, the theism/atheism dichotomy is controlled by one simple action: The answer to the question "do you, right now, believe in any deity or deities?"
