- THE SUBVERSIVE FALLACY
- Paulos is admirable on the nature of coincidence - the inevitability of improbable events - on the logic of gambling in its various forms from coin-tossing to the Stock Exchange; the Gambler's Fallacy (the belief that when a coin has landed heads several times over, there is an increased probability that tails will turn up on the next throw); Pascal's wager; Condorcet's paradox; the prisoner's dilemma.
- The single-copy fallacy operates here strongly, for the only way to study the Convention is through copies in the "real world": that is copies obtained at the time and held since by those who attended or their heirs.
- This is a similar fallacy to that of those in my profession who are constantly aspiring to bring everybody up to the average.
- The Fallacy of Carpe Diem is a falsely reasoned argument which concludes that it is best to enjoy the momentary pleasure, and have no thought for the consequences it may bring.
- Trade unionists increasingly saw underconsumption as the cause of stagnant trade, for, as the manifesto of the woollen textile workers stated on the eve of the 1925 textile lock-out: "There is no greater fallacy today than to think we could get back to prosperity by reducing wages."
- It was essentially a new attempt to revive the Burkeian fallacy of empire through freedom, obedience through liberty.
- They also believed that other countries were overtaking Britain in every way;, and of course, as in the 1950s and 1960s, the fallacy of a "declining share" of world trade etc. was easy to convey and difficult to expose.
- They have nothing to do with the length of the notes; that's a fallacy, and let anyone who teaches this in an academy be turned out as a misleader of the people!
- SIR - The fallacy of simplified spelling is that English vowels, and some consonants, are spoken differently by speakers of different origins.
- Easthope believes that the modernist concept of "impersonality", later systematized in the New Criticism, and theorized by Wimsatt and Beardsley in their famous essay "The Intentional Fallacy", was on the right lines, but did not go far enough, as the author was not really banished.
- The initial word "everyone" in Article 25 (and in most of the other Articles) - however illogically linked with "his family" - contains the same fallacy as "all men" in the Declaration of 1776: "rights" are not an attribute of individuals but a description of societies.
- This is not the fallacy (although some allege it to be so) of Nigel Lawson's exchange rate policy, nor the fallacy (which others allege) of the money supply policy which Mrs Thatcher would prefer, but the fallacy of supposing government can be conducted successfully on the basis of ambiguous vacillation.
