Friends let us discuss the following. M. Bolton made me realize that just as the opposite of fragile isn’t robust the opposite of reject may not be accept (neutral) but promote. This would explain the following effect I described in TBS : people default to accepting statements and need to make an effort to reject (they are more likely to accept under cognitive load). Accepting is inert, like an act of omission. So the negative of the act of commission of rejecting would be promoting or some active type of acceptance.

So mathematically things would be {-1, 0, 1} rather than the dyadic {0,1}
