Yes, less than half are cut and dried. Kinda like a softball game. It isn't all black and white. There are some shades of gray -- sometimes many shades of gray. Could be 256 shades of gray.

BTW, I always like sentences which begin "With all due respect..." It's like seeing someone drive the wrong way on a one-way street: the crash is coming, and you hope no one gets seriously injured.

OK. Back under my rock. Bye.
With all due respect bkbjones, most softball games are in fact cut and dried. Every now and then, something gray comes up, you make a call and hope like hell it was the right one and look it up afterward to be sure. That I believe is where you learn most of the "gray" rules; not in a 30-45 minute multiple choice exam where one will more than likely forget what he or she was exposed to in a short amount of time.
