Dialogue
— J. Chr. de Vries
1: The structure of this dialogue is clearly unavoidable.
2: Yes.

2: No.
1: So no ambiguities?
2: Yes.
1: And it’s true that you don’t have a problem with that?
2: No.
1: In the sense that you indeed don’t have a problem with it?
2: Yes.
1: No problem then?
2: No.
1: Hmm, your answers don’t exactly seem unpredictable.
2: Yes.
1: Do you think I can predict your next answer?
2: No.
1: I wonder whether you understand that you’re free to answer whatever you like.
2: Yes.
1: That answer is completely predictable now, isn’t it?
2: No.
1: It almost seems as if you’re doing it on purpose.
2: Yes.
1: Boring!
2: No.
1: Yes!
