The habit of people to skip any or all nuance in assessing a situation because it’s “more palatable”.
A good example of this is familial relations. Family is more than just “parent”, “child”, “sibling”, “friend”, and/or “spouse”, you could have grey areas where something would come off as not quite one thing or another thing. Age-gap siblings can develop into having an aunt or uncle who is younger than you, or you might be older than your step-parent, or you might manifest a relationship in a way that contains some aspects of a friendship, etc. But there are people who don’t want to hear any of the buts about it, they just want a one word answer.
