"Are you coming down on the side of ambiguity?"

That's not a term I would use in this context. In the aggregate it may appear as if human life is characterized by ambiguity, but on the individual level human choice is often very clear-cut. It's certainly possible that Pharmakon is trying to obscure those individual distinctions in order to get the result he wants, but self-proclaimed advocates of objective truth do the same thing in discussions of the social realm when they're actually just appealing to conformity.
