@PGodJordan I tend to call people beings.
Thanks for the answer... Yet you didn't clarify if freaking hilarious Tin-Man's hypothesis about you is right... Hehe.
Jokes aside, we are trying to help you in fact by telling you that this is a debate forum, and you can't debate people if you don't make a effort to explain your point of view clearly, not just for yourself and those scholars you say you met, and you need to learn more about fallacies, in order to avoid them. Here they are always pointed out, as it should. I learn a lot in this forum, and so could you, if you pay attention to what these wonderful people are trying to tell you.
1.) On the contrary, I tend to provide sources to substantiate my expressions, unlike you and others on this forum. (You tend to blather on absent evidence.)
2.) Can you present evidence which shows at least one instance where I supposedly committed some fallacy? Or do you like to invoke the word fallacy when your understanding fails you?
As you wish...
"2.) It is no surprise that people without PhD's or Masters will find my model strange. However, from my interactions, professors or PhD holders, tend to find my model straight forward/sensible."
Argument from authority fallacy.
@Apost Re: PGJ
Yep, he's an AI program. Hey! Anybody out there got a "personality chip" handy?..... STAT!
1.) Your remark is demonstrably false, and actually fallacious.
2.) Consider the following:
Scenario: Quantum Mechanics looks like gobbledygook to laymen, but Quantum Mechanics may not look like gobbledygook to PhDs and Masters people.
Question/Answer: Does this mean the scenario above underscores "an argument from authority"? No.
Who taught you how to argue so poorly?
An argument from authority, also called an appeal to authority, or the argumentum ad verecundiam is a form of defeasible argument in which a claimed authority's support is used as evidence for an argument's conclusion. It is well known as a fallacy, though it is used in a cogent form when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context.
"People with PhD s" is a supposed authority on the subject for which you argue. By invoking them, whoever they are, you are using their authority, their knowledge and expertise to add credence to your argument. That is, most definitely, an argument from authority. And it actually takes away from the argument you put forth to those of us who regularly employ logic.
DANGER. DANGER. DANGER.
PGJ DOES NOT COMPUTE.
IRRELEVANT. *TICK TICK*
"Is English your first... MUST KILL, MUST KILL WITH TEDIOUS SPAMMMM.... EXTERMINATE EXTEMINATE EXTERMINATE!!!!!!!"
Another one for you, @PGJordan: Tu quoque is type of ad hominem argument in which a person turns a charge back on his or her accuser: a logical fallacy. Also called the "you too," the "two wrongs," or the "look who's talking" fallacy:
"On the contrary, I tend to provide sources to substantiate my expressions, unlike you and others on this forum. (You tend to blather on absent evidence)".
P.S. LMAO with the binary joke, @Random
And let us not forget the numerous times he has misrepresented peoples positions, created arguments to argue against, that have not even been made, or otherwise known as a straw man fallacy.
