This could be nitpicking an abbreviated binary choice. The usual advice is to ask if you are free to leave. If the answer is no, then you know you're being detained and can act accordingly.

Indeed, asking if you are free to leave is the better question. Not so much an abbreviated binary choice, but more a response to the suggestion as given.
