Since the discussion was over a dichotomy, you would be correct for the purposes of the discussion. There is either bad or not bad. As the disagreement was not based upon the gradation but only on the dichotomy, there was no need to assign any statistical difference as they would be categorized the same regardless of any difference in severity.

So dealing solely with the dichotomy that the discussion was about, you agreed that thoughts alone could be used to consider someone a bad person.
