Avoiding all the fluff. Making binary statements is almost inevitable. The question is as to context. Things may well be right or wrong, within that context or set of beliefs. As long as we know where the author is coming from and where he stands then all should be clear. It is when people try to organise the whole world into right and wrong on no basis other than whimsy that there is trouble. Naturally, the context may be based on false assumptions.
