Sure, but :

1. Not all entities, races, etc are subject to Cosmic Duality and/or not subject to It in the same way
2. Worshippers' vision, society, etc are also subject to Cosmic Duality, blurring all meaningful boundaries between question and answer
3. No, Yes, Both, Neither, Something Else Entirely, One Day (with perseverance) You Will Understand Glasshoppah, and many other possible answers are all truthful ones, depending on the POV of who's asking the question

(given that _you're_ answering the question, then you're logically the only one who can answer it to your own satisfaction : YGMV)
