You either like authority or you don't. That's binary. How much you like or dislike it is the spectrum.

Do you not understand what a spectrum is? It cannot be both binary AND a spectrum. Those two things are mutually exclusive. Bimodal perhaps (though I don't think it is in this case), but not binary.

Or you appreciate authority in some matters, but reject it in others. That's the point in the spectrum that rejects the simple binary.

Edit: just realised both my last posts were responding to you. I'm not stalking or weird shit I swear! It just happened I woke up with more opinions!
