"Law of the Excluded Middle" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Goodness but this was one of the hardest grids I've ever put together! And yes, I know it didn't have to be a pangram; but when 39 down appeared early in proceedings, I just couldn't help myself. Ah well, let's hope all that effort was worth it. The answer to the meta is what is excluded by the Law of the Excluded Middle.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
Law of the Excluded Middle - Crosshare
Law of the Excluded Middle - PUZ
Law of the Excluded Middle - PDF
Law of the Excluded Middle - spreadsheet
Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

DeMOATed. Tiptoed into the castle in the dark of night...or was it the light of morning? (Not sure if it's Monday or Tuesday.)

NERDS of the world unite! This puzzle has been scheduled for months. Total fluke about the timing!

Moat crossed (with a little assist), castle stormed, and thanking the powers that be that no math was involved.
