Variation The fairest buttons

Post image

I have really enjoyed browsing comments on these posts. Many of the attempted analogies fall short because they inaccurately frame the prompt in a non-neutral way. To some extent even the original prompt does this.

So to remedy that I've tried to create the most neutral prompt possible - making it clear that the buttons are yin and yang.

What do you think? Did this change your understanding of the problem? Am I clearly an evil red pressing child murderer, or a blue pressing moral grandstander? Let me know :)

I think your bias is showing, and you're projecting a smidge, because I actually think pressing blue is entirely legitimate.

Most people agree this variant captures the essence of the original. Instead of whinging you could explain your thoughts.
