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)
