RE: NAPathy, Democracy, and Alliances... A Morning Mental Adventure
jejeje completely of according to you.
I do not know why they have given authority to a dictionary to say whether or not a set of letters is a word. I do not know where they get that .-.
They get it using an "Argument of Authority" fallacy. This technique is used against us often. So and So says this is true, so it must be.
That is a logical fallacy.
Now that doesn't mean it may not be true. If the person really knows that subject then there is a higher probability of it being true, yet there is also a slim chance that it is not.
So a wise person will still listen to experts and make decisions based upon probabilities. Yet there is no MUST be true due to the authority of a person or persons. There is a HIGHLY LIKELY to be true in many cases. Or TRUE as far as we currently know. :)
