: Travis, : : I would agree (somewhat) as to how you have stated the above, however it seems to be a shift from your previous postings. : Yes I stand corrected! Thank you. : :And their mandate doesn't guarantee success, at least by the criteria I would use. : Then this is a matter of opinion. I have made my case and you have made yours. : : In addition to circularity, I would also add a fallacy of relevance in your appeal to authority or popularity. : Well you are simply wrong about this being circular. My conclusion does follow from my premises, but both premises are required. This is the standard form of an argument. : It is important to realize that premise 1 is my opinion, premise 2 is a fact. If you agree with my opinion, then the conclusion follows. If not this is a difference of opinion not a logical fallacy. : On the subject of a fallacy of relevance, I think it is relavant that the 'Big 3' advocate one list, and I think I have made it clear why. You may of course disagree but that does not make the above a logical fallacy. : : :Not that this isn't to be expected, it is however, in my opinion, flawed. : : Clearly you have made a mistake here. Formal logic is not a matter of opinion. Whether my argument is or it isn't flawed is a matter of fact. : Cheers, : Eric
