Title: Endeavour?
Post by: Motorcycle Junky on January 22, 2016, 10:19:13 AM
Proposing all space photos are just CG or photoshopped is an easy way to explain away the NASA program but have you guys taken a trip to LA to see the fully functional Endeavour Shuttle?

  Seems like you'd be staring reality in the face simply looking at the actual capsules and space craft used to take many of the images you choose to ignore.

To ignore evidence when it is presented is to show fear and ego, both stemming from insecurity.

My son has a Millennium Falcon.  Am I supposed to believe this thing is the actual one that flies in space?  And was part of a very mediocre movie?

'Cause that is exactly what you are saying in your post.

So by your guys logic, seeing a fully mission capable space craft in person with examples of the engines sitting out to touch first hand isn't enough.   So seeing fighter jets or anything else in person leave them open to be deemed fake because you don't want to believe they could fly.


You guys are funny.  The trolling is strong.  I sincerely hope you guys are just joking.   If not, I encourage you to go see the Endeavour in person. You will realize it's very much real and would complete shatter your baseless accusations.

It's a fallacy to claim that because one thing is made of wood something else must also made of wood.

I didn't say anything incorrect. 

I do appreciate the constant attention you give me, however.  It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.  Too bad for you, though, you always end up looking like an idiot.  If I didn't like the name 'Discount Chemist' so much, I might call you 'Lobster' or 'Crab' since you are so easy to trap.  I toss out the bait, click 'Show new replies to your posts' and sure enough, there you are.

The Wright Brothers flight was a fallacy, too. Those "historic movies" you see were filmed using a model airplane in a sand box in a movie studio.
Therefore : Aircraft flights on the earth  are just as impossible as space flights.

Haven't you learnt yet that TheEngineer never says anything, but he says it absolutely precisely?

While I liked your Wright Brothers analogy, the 777s and A320s etc that I have flown in seemed pretty real to me!

They are worthless because you used a fallacy, which is incorrect.
But no, once again it's my fault you said something wrong.

Post by: TheEngineer on January 26, 2016, 07:05:15 AM
Too bad for you, that's not what you said.  You said the fallacy was 'argument by analogy'.  Which is not a fallacy at all.

In case you forgot:
The fallacy is probably argument by analogy or Syllogistic.

Remember when I said you were so easy to trap?  Here is another example.  I can't believe you have not learned your lesson by now.  I don't ask a question unless I already know the answer to it.  So I asked you to point out where I made the fallacy (knowing I made no fallacy) thus setting the trap (baiting).  You, wanting to get that 'gotcha', quickly took the bait and climbed right into the crab pot.  And then the trap was sprung, making you look like an idiot, yet again, Discount (Crab) Chemist.

Although sokarul's title of the fallacy may be incorrect, the substance isn't. A false analogy is indeed an informal fallacy. I am not saying the fallacy was committed either way, but on its face there is a problem with argumentation.

A false analogy is indeed an informal fallacy.
I don't recall saying otherwise.

That is truly sad.
Why is that?  Except for the fact that it would make me a really good lawyer.

No but you do willfully refuse obvious inferences just to try and make someone wrong, even if there is truth in what they say.  In that respect, yes, you would be a good lawyer.

That can in no way be inferred from the statement "I don't ask a question unless I already know the answer to it".

What the statement means, is that I research and learn before I say something.  Which, by the way, if practiced by RE'ers, would serve to keep most of you from looking so foolish all the time.

Of course it can.  If I interpret it to mean that you only ask questions whose answers lie in the set of knowledge you already possess, then you are not asking questions on matters that lie outside of your current knowledge.

Perhaps we are not concerned with looking foolish?  It appears that almost everyone who visits this site is unconcerned with appearing foolish.

Too bad for you, that's not what you said.  You said the fallacy was 'argument by analogy'.  Which is not a fallacy at all.

In case you forgot:
The fallacy is probably argument by analogy or Syllogistic.

Remember when I said you were so easy to trap?  Here is another example.  I can't believe you have not learned your lesson by now.  I don't ask a question unless I already know the answer to it.  So I asked you to point out where I made the fallacy (knowing I made no fallacy) thus setting the trap (baiting).  You, wanting to get that 'gotcha', quickly took the bait and climbed right into the crab pot.  And then the trap was sprung, making you look like an idiot, yet again, Discount (Crab) Chemist.
You didn't actually refute anything I claimed. You really have no grasp on debate technique.

And no you would be a good lawyer.  Every time you don't address a claim you give it up.

Sounds to me like you are butt hurt.  Why does having people prove you wrong get you so mad?  We admit when you occasionally make a point.  We just wish we did not have to dredge through your pile of excrement to find that point.

Sure I did.  You claimed the fallacy was 'argument by analogy'.  Except that is not a fallacy, which you now apparently agree to, after I refuted your claim.

False analogy or weak analogy are arguments of analogy that are poorly suited.

Now if only you could say "I was wrong".  "Ok, terrific" will have to suffice, I suppose.

Remember what I said about playing these games and you always looking idiotic?  Perhaps you should reevaluate your tact on this site.

Why should I say I'm wrong. Shouldn't I just blame other people like you do?

Remember when I said that every time you don't respond to a claim you give it up? Perhaps you should reevaluate your debating style.
