STRANGER: However, the curious thing about fallacies is that they're only actually fallacies if they're both illegitimate to the subject of the argument and included within its structure, rather than simply extraneous premises. (An argument, of course, being more or less a conditional conjunction of premises.) And your own argumentativety, which I've so astutely pointed out, has no bearing on any of the conditional conjunctions I've made. In fact, one well-known argumentative technique, "reducto ad absurdum," relies entirely on constructing an obviously fallacious sub-argument as part of the overall structure.
ME: I'm terribly sorry, I couldn't quite make out your point over the sound of you masturbating.

ReplyDelete& it's "reductio ad absurdum," unless you're going to duct-tape something into absurdity.
