Dichotomous questions are often misleading questions; demanding that the person questioned accept the false assumptions upon which the question is based---and answer in one of two ways, both of which accept the false assumptions. Dichotomous questions invite/demand dishonesty in dichotomous responses. Dichotomous jail keepers and prisoners are prone to accept/reject others in terms of dichotomous questions.

It is informal dichotomous rules which count, unless there are formal dichotomous rules are consistent with dichotomous informal rules. It is difficult to escape from the prison of dichotomous questions and thinking---because the jailers and prisoners favor alienation over reconciliation, distrust over cooperation, silence over dialogue, deception over integrity, and suspicion over respect.
