Just a simple yes or no answer is all...
Sometimes, just sometimes, a question that the interviewer has worked on for weeks and goes into what they believe to be great detail CANNOT be answered with just the "simple yes or no" answer they are looking for.

Just as headlines, stories, reports, & people cannot always be "balanced" - sometimes, just sometimes there IS NOT ANOTHER SIDE TO A STORY! You want to show me that a young man who killed 6 friends and then himself is not a tragedy? What’s the other side? How do you balance that out? Do you say somebody deserved it?

Just as I do not want balanced journalism, I would not want to be held to answer somebody's lengthy, somewhat double sided question to just a yes or no!

2. Tired in the debates of hearing some moderators
and now, even some candidates try to get just a "simple Yes or No" from somebody else!
