The Two-Handed Professor

two-handed professor (noun) - A person who, when asked a question, typically structures his or her reply as “On one hand… But on the other hand…”

I’m a bit of a two-handed professor myself. Any question worth asking has many facets to explore. As an information maven and critical thinker, I hate to leave out any details - even though the asker would probably prefer I boil it down, giving a simple conclusion that clearly favors a particular course of action.
