Following the indicator categories discussion, I have been thinking about the logic of indicators.

The specification says: "The absence of an indicator implies unknown or unconsidered, not false."

This gives us three states per indicator: present (+), absent (-), and unstated. But the specification does not explain why. Why not two states — observed or not observed?
