Jason at 37signals did a recent post about using absolutes such as can’t in debates or discussions….can‚Äôt kills priority which is why it‚Äôs an especially dangerous word.And that‚Äôs the problem with using absolutes in debates.¬† They can be healthy when a decision absolutely needs to be made, but they can also box you into corner by pitting two opposite absolutes against each other….¬† Can‚Äôt squeezes out middle ground when there is usually middle ground to be reached.
