Just a curiosity of mine: I am wondering if Kelly's Personal Construct
Theory isn't at work in an IBIS-style discussion. If that were so, then
Kelly would argue for some kind of sliding scale, with neutral being 0 in
the center, and + and - 1 being the poles. One might then simply set the
slider rather than make a statement, and follow that with a justification
for the setting.
