Is confirmation always binary?

Confirmation is not always just yes or no, like when you're playing a game.

Imagine you have a puzzle with pieces that can fit in more than one way. Sometimes, a piece might look like it fits perfectly, that’s like getting a confirmation of yes. But sometimes, it only partly fits, that's like a confirmation of maybe or partially yes. You don’t always need all the pieces to be exactly right to know you're on the right track.

Think about when you guess what your friend wants for lunch. If they say, “Yes!” that’s a full confirmation, like getting a sticker for being right. But if they say, “That sounds good,” it’s more of a partial confirmation, like getting a star instead of a full sticker. It's still a win, but not the whole game.

So sometimes you get a yes, and sometimes you get a maybe or partially yes, just like in life!
