Can those outside of science credibly speak about science?

I think I understand the issues fairly well. And I can tell you that when presented with a fallacy, people recognize it.What happens is that people don't THINK in real world situations. Take my example of the "great artist":All great artists have a lot of women.
I have a lot of women.
Therefore, I am a great artist.If my friend had been able to realize that this was the idea he was living by, he would have recognized immediately the fallacy involved.In fact, he did recognize it eventually.

If I had a class of students that couldn't recognize the fallacy of the undistributed middle term, that would falsify it. In 20 years, that has not happened.Therefore, I am right.

I think you said this before. Why are you repeating yourself? Are you a broken record?

Funny.Obviously, Crashfrog, my fallacy has not been presented clearly to me.

They weren't "educated' about them. I present them with a syllogism and ask them if it makes sense. They recognize immediately the fallacy. They have no name for it of course.Proof positive.One might want to observe real people in action--rather than your acedemic tricks.
