Take the following as truth: Critics hyped the face-off between New Republic theater critic Robert Brustein and black playwright August Wilson over Afrocentric theater as the intellectual version of extreme fighting (Frank Rich, the New York Times ). But the debate was judged to be a flop--lots of combative bravado and little payoff.
Then the following statement: "Robert is extremely tough and straight forward." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
