Ref 10:46 AM. Only by different definitions of unequivocal, Keith, and I have given the dictionary definition above. Not being patronising here but the only other way I can think of explaining is is by example.

1. The government has no case to answer. Unequivocal. Leaves the reader in no doubt. Stated as a fact.
2. I believe the government has no case to answer. Equivocal. Ambiguous in that it is merely a belief and beliefs can change. Uncertain and questionable.

I have always tended toward the latter and have even been upbraided on here for being too vague.

Jim's assertion that whoever thought etc. was proved wrong is unequivocal but it also happens to be correct. The current court decision has proved the government wrong in their assumption. The appeal may overturn that at which point the statement becomes false but, at present, it is a fact. No one is prediction the outcome of the appeal.
