A8: "Is it *true* that in the US you should drive on the right side of the road? Yes or no?"

Spunkets: No.

Have you ever taken driver's ed? If so, have you ever wondered why you failed it?

You asked for a yes, or no answer to a question and I gave you the correct answer. What you were looking for is a yes, but then I'd have been wrong.

You're trying to make a logical point by using an irrelevant example. The example is hte same as a man with no authority making a decision on whether, or not to take a drink. regardless of what the man decides to do, he did not make a decision to decide that whatever decision he made was true. His decision was simple a drink, or no drink decision, akin to the left, or right decision posed. In neither case was he deciding truth. Whatever he decided was what he decided and that is the reference for what anyone else says about his decision. If they say he drank and he decided to drink, it would be true. It would be false if anyone says he didn't drink, but made the drink decision.

I decided truth when I gave you your answer, not you when you posed the question and assumed to know the correct answer. I used the law as my reference. The law is the reality at hand to reference.
