Answering “x or y?” questions with just “no” (or “yes”) seems to leave things ambiguous (does it mean “the latter,” “not the former,” or “neither of those”?). It seems impolite to me (not putting in the effort to write something slightly longer to make things easier for the reader).
Confused by the downvotes. People here want me to say yes??
