Re: Living fallaciously
Obviously, Crashfrog, my fallacy has not been presented clearly to me.
Go back and re-read your posts. If logic is so natural to you, you should be able to find it.
If not, well...

    Re: Living fallaciously
    So, you're rebutting a claim that people do not recognize logical fallacies unles educated about them with an observation of educated persons recognizing logical fallacies?
    Does that seem logical to you?
    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.
