To my experience, if you wanna assume two positions, two sides or two consequences for an issue, you would fall into the fallacy of false dilemma way too damn easily ... and yet, if you assume three options, your chances of exhibiting decent reasoning get far higher ... saying it is either X or Y ... usually doesn't do much good ... but considering neither or both as well, is a whole different ball game ... basically a grey area or a problem erasing option gives the analysis a way better look. 

Why am I even saying this?
