You do not understand the fallacy of argument from authority. I did not engage in this. If you think what I did was an example of the fallacy of argument from authority then you must think that people who insist that the person who performs their heart surgery be a heart surgeon are also engaging in this fallacy.
- kiba 16y agoYou do not understand the fallacy of argument from authority. I did not engage in this. Mere assertions is not going help you there. You have to explain why I am wrong.
- yequalsx 16y agoFor someone who made statements like this: "Spending money on education is all well and good, but what about the dead GIs that we can't bring back to life? How many Einsteins, Teslas, and Neumanns die in that war anyway? We probably lost some of them in that war." and "Heard of the broken window fallacy?" it's a bit too much to read this latest statement from you. A number of your statements on WWII were not relevant to my comments. You also made a number of unsubstantiated assertions. Also, the third sentence in my previous remark addresses your present question. I believe a review of logical fallacies would be beneficial to you.
- kiba 16y agoI merely point out the opportunity cost of lost human capitals due to wars. I also pointed out the rationing and economic hardship of civilians at home. Don't tell me that you don't think a dead soldier is not a capital loss. Don't tell me that economic scarcity in time of wars is economic prosperity.
