I'd also like to note that the even in logic, it's not always one thing or its opposite (provided you use intuitionist logic).

Person A: "Do you believe a god exists, or don't you?"
Person B: "I'm agnostic, I dunno."
Person A: "K shut up, I didn't ask if you knew, I asked what you believe. So once again, do you believe God exists, yes or no?"
Person B: "I'm agnostic, and I just don't care okay."
Person A: "Okay so you're an agnostic apatheist. I didn't ask for that, I asked if you believe, whether you care or you don't, tell me what you believe."
Person B: "I believe I don't know."
Person A: "I didn't ask for that, dimwit. Do you BELIEVE a god exists?"
It's an endless chain. I think either our definitions for belief differ, or you think that agnosticism is a 3rd option one can take, which they can't. Not in this particular instance where I ask specifically what their belief is.
