"Recognizing valid differences between two elements of a system is not to 'dichotomise.' Some people fear dichotomies are simplistic. But it is also simplistic to reject a perfectly valid dichotomy just because you happen to have a thing against dichotomies when they occur."
Iain McGilchrist, "Preface to the new expanded edition," The master and his emissary: the divided brain and the making of the modern world, New expanded edition (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2019 [2010]), xvi. Undoubtedly I'm misusing McGilchrist prematurely.
