If I were to answer “pull if it is day and don’t pull if it is night” then that would not be “I don’t know” answer but would be a “It depends” answer. Also if somebody were to say “pull if night and don’t pull if day” we can say that they disagree with the first person and both have a decided stance even if it is not decided in the “yes-no” axis.
I guess for these purposes the signficant thing is whether you can specify the conditions/delineations or would they be ad hoc random afterthougts. There is also something to be said whether the delineation would be available. Like a counterargument of “What if you don’t know whether it is day or not?” is relevant to counter with “Phase of day is usually easily and readily available”. You don’t need to rely on the hypothetical provider to condition your answer on such a thing but that conditioning might still be highly questionable (I for one think that day/night can’t seriously be a relevant factor and would think somebody trying to pass that as a serious answer would be ridicoulus)
