Come on guys, can we get onto something we don't know.?

what? that's a novel new tack to take. . . . thinks . .. . I know SFA about so many things . . . what can there be potentially relevant to the erebus debate that no one has yet the foggiest idea about .. .that has not yet had an airing? (the role and place of absurdity in debate? the definition of 'reductio ad absurdum'.)

A form of argument in which a proposition is disproven by following its implications logically to an absurd conclusion. Arguments which use universals such as, “always”, “never”, “everyone”, “nobody”, etc., are prone to being reduced to absurd conclusions. The fallacy is in the argument that could be reduced to absurdity -- so in essence, reductio ad absurdum is a technique to expose the fallacy.


and incidentally . . . she may not be a guy you are addressing either 3 holes good (4 holes good . .as in ANIMAL FARM . . .. four legs good . . . two legs bad. . . . don't call me obscure!)
