Good point, I'm sure some people would argue that "no" is also pretty powerful. We are faced with so many decisions every day that our ability to say no is pretty important.

If I had my druthers, all articles would be bullet points.

#6Whether or not the title was a good choice was merely a matter of perspective ;)
Every human being in the world should read this article; if we can all truly comprehend this text, the world would be a better place.

I would say that "No" - without hesitation, is far more powerful than Yes. Yes is expected, yes is what happens very frequently. But when "No" comes, we are taken aback, offended, and potentially have life-changing modifications to our self-esteem.
"Yes" keeps things going as they are - because with every question comes an expectation of "Yes" - if the many single men afraid of approaching a woman are any indication, most frequently, when we ask a question we expect a positive response - the times when we expect a negative reaction, the questions don't get asked.
For that reason, "yes" is - in my opinion, which I feel could be substantiated by data - not nearly as powerful as the opposite, no.

#8Not exactly original, but well written.
And the choice of words in the title is irrelevant! It doesn't even make sense to argue about the "power" of a word, without a useful definition of power. So don't!
The discussion so far falls squarely under http://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-i-stopped-reading-hn/

I live for when people say thanks.
