Are you "nuanced"?

[Jonathan Lighter]

Not in OED:

  2003 Michael C.C. Adams _Echoes of War_ (Lexington: U.P. of Ky.) xi: I believe that many lay readers want to be discriminating and nuanced in their understanding of history.

  Prof. Adams means, "aware of nuances or subtleties; perspicacious."
