why’s it called a “dilemma” when there are 5 possible alternative 
interpretations?

are there only two alternative outcomes to choose among?

maybe it should be called a “pentalemma”, or possibly a “quintlemma”?

It has to be pentalemma, otherwise you're mixing Greek and Latin roots, and that's totally Not Done.

Also, I like this so much that I'm stealing it.

Thanks in advance.
