I already mentioned degrees, to a degree you can have both but you will have a dominant trait. When pressed you cannot have both justice and mercy. Justice requires that you prosecute to full extent of the law. Mercy asks that you give less than the full extent. So while you may appreciate both in one instance you cannot demonstrate both. I told you this is a logical construct. Same type of thing. Either you are wanting to be right, justice, or you want acceptance, mercy. Can’t have both.

It terms of real world, yes. In philosophical terms, there are two categories: degree and kind. You have to assign a type and then a degree. In the very middle there is neutrality.
