What is a dichotomie?? 66.245.99.94 00:44, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A dichotomy is a division into exactly two, usually mutually exclusive, possibilities. A false dichotomy is a choice between exactly two possibilities where many other possibilities exist. It is a logical flaw. What I meant by alluding to it in response to your question is that there are many names this category might be given, and to suggest that if what you meant to indicate is "I think this category should be renamed "X"", you might just say that. And you might want to give a rationale for your feelings on that name choice. - Nunh-huh 02:09, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
