Alternatives
Yes or no questions are a recurring subject of debate. Some say you shouldn't ask and others say you can do it. In practice, it is quite possible to ask such questions, but it is then necessary to be able to interpret the answer. Here are two examples of alternative choices, the second example being clearly a yes or no question.
First example: buying a console
When I was thinking of offering a game console to a loved one, I asked if it would be better to use a portable model or a home model.
The situation: 10
10 - Continuity
One is committed with confidence, in the long term and with a simple goal, without looking for outside help.

Confirmation question: home model?
The situation: 33
We're moving away, but what is moving away? It is time to ask a follow-up question:
What is moving away?
The prospect of seeing the device broken.
Second example: switching to fiber.
I asked if I should switch my internet connection to fiber, recently installed in my neighbourhood.
1.2.3.6 (1 > 17) - Evolution
One is satisfied with what they have without concern for the others.

The situation: 23
Follow-up question: what is declining?
22.3 (22 > 27) - Making the pleasure last
One does not want to finish too fast.

This is a technique I used many times when I consulted to obtain Taoscopy comments. In the second case, it is a humorous spade, but the answer is unambiguous.
