Re: Kedrick breakout game



< As a point of reference, can someone check Richard Jefferson's stats 
from his first game as a starter, someone frequently mentioned as who 
the C's SHOULD have drafted?> - CeltsSteve   

Oh no. Have we been reduced to this in our quest to justify the Kedrick 
pick at #11?

The Coyote jury has returned its verdict.  CeltsSteve, you have been found
guilty of advancing the following LOGICAL FALLACIES in one short sentence. 

Fallacies of Distraction 

*Slippery Slope: a series of increasingly unacceptable consequences is 
drawn 
*Complex Question: two unrelated points are conjoined as a single 
proposition 

Inductive Fallacies 

*Hasty Generalization: the sample is too small to support an inductive 
generalization about a population (In this case: Jefferson vs. Kedrick)
*Unrepresentative Sample: the sample is unrepresentative of the sample 
as a whole 
*False Analogy: the two objects or events being compared are relevantly 
dissimilar 
*Slothful Induction: the conclusion of a strong inductive argument is 
denied despite the evidence to the contrary 
*Fallacy of Exclusion: evidence which would change the outcome of an 
inductive argument is excluded from consideration 

Fallacies of Explanation 

*Non-support (Evidence for the phenomenon being explained is biased) 
*Limited Scope (The theory which explains can only explain one thing) 
*Limited Depth (The theory which explains does not appeal to 
underlying causes) 

Fallacies of Definition 

*Too Broad (The definition includes items which should not be included) 
*Too Narrow (The definition does not include all the items which should 
be included) 
*Failure to Elucidate (The definition is more difficult to understand than 
the word or concept being defined)
