Experienced persons opinion needed

If you only give it 2 options you’re going to get false replies, there’s a good post explaining this here:

Suppose you ask “Should I ask my boss for a pay rise?” and the answer is really, “Yes, but not at the time you think” because he’s worried about the annual returns or something - with only 2 options, there’s no room for subtlety, and plenty of room for either answer to screw you up - if “no” then you donlt ask him next month when he’s just seen profits rise, if “yes” you blunder in too soon and piss him off.

You don’t need to add as many variations as some methods but a “maybe, yes” “maybe, no” and possibly an “ask again later”/“you need more information before acting” kind of clause would be helpful, they give some wiggle room on complex issues.
