The similarity between according to" + "ratio," and “of or pertaining to speech or reason or reasoning, rational, reasonable” is just too simple and striking to be missed and forgotten.
No linguistic reasoning is needed however, to see that an analogy essentially needs logic to work in any language. It helps however. EG in English tongue still language in an idiomatic metaphorical sense, analog to the original meaning of logos, tongue, metaphorically referring to speech.
My argument is not ignorant, anyway, it's arrogant.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoYou are making an argument which includes, but is even dumber than, the etymological fallacy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymological_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymological_fallacy ). I stand by "extremely ignorant".
- conceit 11y agoI'm sorry, the initial analogy, that a condom is easy to pierce was just an example for the general assumption, that security is easy if the thread is not purposefully malignant, for varying measures of malignant. Someone who doesn't even understand that and that the linguistic argument is of the table, and still keeps going, shouldn't try to talk about logic, as right as some of the individual arguments might be. Ana-logically, I shouldn't be writing any more about this.
- bakirtzis 11y agoI don't know about the second part of your argument, where you claim you don't need any linguistic reasoning to see that analogy needs logic (I'm personally not convinced). However, your argument about the connection-in the context you are putting it in-of the words logic and analogy is absolutely false. Αναλογία means the comparative association of two (antithetical) objects in quantity, size, etc. Λογική means to reason with a basis in reality.
