Nice try but no, because Kakashi also made a general statement about combining any of the five basic natures.

I only care about the first of those pages, by the way. The other stuff doesn't matter. "By controling the nature of "X" and "Y" at the same time, he creates a new "XY" element which he can then manipulate." is the framework for how advanced natures are created, you can apply any two basic natures to it. But Yin and Yang aren't part of these five basic natures. They weren't in Yamato's explanation and when Naruto asked about them (indirectly), Yamato even said to postpone that explanation. It's more than obvious, man. This isn't some scientific research with the safety of the world on the line or so, so don't make this so hard for yourself, man. Because as I said, in the end, it's not up to you to decide, this is still a community thing. Silence is not evidence of absence. Kakashi and Yamato simply did not talk about the impossibility or possibility of combining Yin or Yang with the basic natures. There is no need to forcefully expand their statements. BTW, I'm certainly not trying to decide anything; although, the "community" believing in something doesn't automatically make their belief true, and you know about that more than I do. Besides, why did you even start bringing this up? Are you worried that your claims are proving untenable? (Because the last time I saw someone play that card in this forum was when it became clear to them that their claims were no longer tenable).
