Almost nobody understands a standard logical AND operator here in Lemmyville . I'm clearly looking for people for whom the answer to all 3 questions is YES. Because I want to talk to peers.
This is a ridiculous way to disparage people. Technically your question is most literally answered with a single yes/no rather than three, but it is not failing to answer the question to answer for the individual values because their logical relationship to the output is established by the question anyway. People are just giving you fuller answers than "Yes" [end comment] or "No" [end comment]. You didn't say "only reply if you're a hippy wizard," you asked "are you a hippy wizard?", to which "No" is no less valid an answer than "Yes".
I would suggest that you spend just a tiny bit of the time you currently spend on logic circuits on pragmatics instead, because it might help you to not feel the need to attack people for answering in a way that would normally be considered more helpful (by means of "showing one's work") than spitting out a Boolean.
Honey rather than vinegar so on and so forth. Don't be a dick
Sorry
