We can all agree that the following statement is true: "The biblical description regarding hell and those who go there is either true or false."

I disagree. It's not a binary. Different Christians interpret the Bible differently on this point.

It is a binary. Hell either exists, or does not. there is nothing else.

Given that it exists, it is either as the Bible describes, let me rephrase that, as the writer interprets it. Let's call that an eternal, burning Hell.

So, given that Hell exists is some form, or another, it is either an eternal, burning Hell, or it is something else. I doesn't matter what else that it is, or how many other something elses it might possibly be. It is either an eternal burning Hell, or it is not.

tha's as binary as it gets. And if it is something else, you can pick them off one by one. Or, you can start with one of the something elses. Assuming there actually is a burning Hell, and that you can accurately eliminate each one that is not an eternal burning Hell. Or alternatively, recognize the true Hell when you consider it, sooner or later you will get to the position that there is a burning Hell. Of course, that's a lot of assumptions

It is a binary. Interpretation does not affect reality.
