The man with the brown hand asked, "Is it confirmed now?"
"I'm waiting for your clear answer," said the gray-handed man.
The brown-handed man said, "My answer to you is that this matter is exactly what you thought. You don't know, and if you ask me, I also don't know. Does that count as a clear answer?"
"Yes," the gray-handed man replied.
"So, does that mean you've confirmed it now?" the brown-handed man asked.
"Yes," said the gray-handed man.
“Your answer is certainly concise and to the point. You always give just one word,” said the brown-handed man.
"You asked 'Does it count?' Isn't this my most direct answer?" Grayhand asked.
The brown-handed man said, "Well, now that you've confirmed it, do you have anything to say about it?"
“I have nothing to say,” said the Gray-Handed Man. “You said you could answer my question again, and although you said your answer would be similar to your previous one, you still didn’t answer the specific questions. You know what question I was talking about, right?”
The brown-handed man said, "Of course I know."
"Are you going to answer now? Don't tell me you're going to ask me if I'll laugh later," said the gray-handed man.
“This time, it was you who came up with the idea of ‘laughing,’ I had no such thought at all,” the brown-handed man said. “I already regretted saying what I just said, how could I possibly ask a similar question again?”
Grayhand said, "Although I still believe that all possibilities cannot be denied, I understand what you're saying. Now, answer me. You've taken back what you just said, so what are you going to say in response?"
The brown-handed man said, "What I said earlier was 'I'll ask those with the lower probability first,' but I take that back. Now I'll answer your question like this: 'I'll ask those I think are less likely first.'" The gray-handed man asked, "You only added three words?"
“Yes,” said the brown-handed man.
“In that case, you didn’t need to take it back just now,” the gray-handed man said.
"Oh? What do you think would be the best course of action for me?" the brown-handed man asked.
“There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing now. It’s just that, in my opinion, all you had to do was say that you wanted to add words to what you said before,” said the Gray-Handed Man.
“Taking it back and reiterating it has no different effect than adding words,” said the brown-handed man.
“There’s an extra step of taking back,” Grayhand said. “And taking back an extra time increases the likelihood of the situation you just mentioned occurring. You made it sound like you could really take back your words at any time, which could greatly increase the casualness of your speech. If you just add words without taking them back, then you wouldn’t increase the likelihood of the situation you just mentioned occurring.”
The brown-handed man thought for a moment and then said, "This time we do need to add the word directly, instead of saying we take it back first and then answering your question again."
The gray-handed man said, "Since you've already taken it back and answered my question again, you don't need to care too much about whether you took it back or not."
The brown-handed man said, "I understand what you mean, but it would be nice if we could take it back one less time."
Grayhand asked, "It's all in the past. Besides, in my opinion, taking back that decision now wouldn't have that much of an impact."
The brown-handed man said, "It's already been said, it's all in the past."
The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Yes, it's all in the past. You don't need to think about it too much. In my opinion, you don't need to blame yourself."
