I'm willing to believe that you experience this problem often, seeing as you have such a picture saved. So maybe if you made your points better you wouldn't.

I know it's bad logic because the conclusion is wrong.

The internet makes it hard to pick up nuances like sarcasm. That's why people say its better to assume people are trolling or lying. In real life, this would be like having Asperger's.

>Any help?

Oh, so now all of a sudden you're being specific about what kind of logic you mean. This is just evidence that you really don't know how to properly formulate a point because you aren't being specific enough when you need to be very clear.

Inductive reasoning is still logic. You also seem to have a problem with viewing this from another person's point of view. You see, while you may know exactly why you have a picture saved, that does not automatically make someone else reasoning out why you have the picture saved illogical just because they're wrong.

Being wrong is no the same as being illogical.

[Anonymous No.577909]

>>577901

don't make me pull out my logic

mentally deficient =/= Asperger's or autism

[Anonymous No.577920]

Aspies are extremely logical and take it to quite far extremes. Not exactly an insulting question or assumption, particularly considering this is 4chan and you can't throw a rock without hitting one in the head.

That said, I'm not sure where this thread's going.

[Anonymous No.577926]

>>577908

Inductive reasoning can be strong or weak. Yours was still weak, and led to a false conclusion-- basically 'bad logic'. It doesn't really take away from my point.

[Anonymous No.577954]

>>577926

Really?

You make a point poorly.
Instead of explaining or reiterating the point you post a picture that merely points out that a point was missed. Who's fault it was that the point was missed is entirely irrelevant, but that you chose not to clear it up would understandably make people believe that you either had no point or simply can't put it a better way. Hence why it's not illogical to think you can't make a point well. You've only been proving him right this whole time.
