Yon
Yon is the answer, if a clear yes or no is not possible. The size of this area depends mainly from the size of the two poles. The magic of the yon lies in the explicit designation the grey zone between the extremes. The half-full or half-empty glass reduces the grey zone between the poles to zero. The benefit of yon is the clear message that the one or the other extreme is not finally decidable, but further aspects have to be clarified in advance.
The model consists of both poles and the grey zone.
