Talmud and Rabbinical Literature is replete with ambiguity. This is actually not only a mode of Eastern Thinking [Think Zen] it's a sign of a healthy psyche.
«Definitions of Ambiguity tolerance on the Web:
• Ambiguity tolerance is the ability to perceive ambiguity in information and behavior in a neutral and open way.»
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_tolerance
«Wilkinson's Modes of Leadership is largely based on ambiguity tolerance.
Mode one leaders have the least tolerance to ambiguity with mode four leaders enjoying and preferring to work in ambiguous situations. In part this is due to what Wilkinson calls 'emotional resilience'. The converse, ambiguity intolerance,[4][5] which was introduced in "The Authoritarian Personality" in 1950,[6] was defined in 1975 as a "tendency to perceive or interpret information marked by vague, incomplete, fragmented, multiple, probable, unstructured, uncertain, inconsistent, contrary, contradictory, or unclear meanings as actual or potential sources of psychological discomfort or threat."»
In other words, the lower the quotient for ambiguity tolerance, the more authoritarian the personality.
