Moshe Vardi’s Post

I studied logic in college & even remember the text book we studied-Cohen & Nagle. I've used these many a times in arguments. I would like to add another fallacy to the list - applying contemporary standards to a past era, a practice that conveniently forgets that each era teaches us something new and forces us to construct new laws & ways of solving existing problems. So, contemporary society views the world in fundamentally different ways than past societies. For example, one cannot apply the Geneva conventions to wars that occurred before they were created. What shall we call this - the temporal fallacy?

How thrilling it must have been back in 1830 when Schopenhauer's Eristische Dialektik was first published.

The argument I am favoring currently is that the teacher of cyber security is compliant by not teaching the student hacks and how they work

I will remember to call the "not" operator in Answer Set Prolog the "Appeal to Ignorance" operator.

I can certainly recognise this list, but one of the challenges appears to be able to remove the emotion that often leads to these situations. The challenge of making decisions Kelly A.

Of course the problem with the fallacies argument is just because you rationalise someones argument falls into kne of those categories, doesnt mean their argument is wrong. Just because you take a traditions approach, doesn’t mean your wrong just as it may not be wrong just because you argue the man rather than the point. These are ways to deflect and argue but the term ‘ fallacies’ isn’t necessary the best way to describe them.

Liking this due to fallacy 5.. not really ! :-)

I think I score a 10 in having seen those being used...
