The digital equivalent of asking "Do you want pizza or burgers?" and getting "Yes, that sounds great" as a response. Boolean questions expect TRUE or FALSE answers—not a dissertation on your favorite food groups. Yet somehow, non-technical folks keep responding with paragraphs when all you needed was a single bit of information. It's like asking if the light is on and getting back the entire history of electricity instead of just "yes." The compiler in my brain throws an exception every time.
