I believe the original poster simply suggested replacing the Yes/No/Skip
radio buttons with actual buttons, rather than clarifying the meaning or
changing the label. This suggestion is reminiscent of Jef Raskin's
approach described in the Humane Interface which attempts to reduce the
number of steps to accomplish a task. So, instead of having to two
steps:

1. Select a Yes/No/Skip radio button
2. Click on the Next button

This could indeed be simplified to a single step:

1. Click on the Yes/No/Skip button

My concern with this approach is that it breaks the flow of thought when
an answer should be supplemented with further information. For example,
my first reaction is to answer the Yes/No/Skip question and my second
reaction is to explain why in the comment text area. If clicking on the
answer brings me directly to the next test, I might completely miss
providing further information.
