- rzzzt 7y agoSlippery slope fallacy!
- posterboy 7y agoThe just-so story is itself thought-terminating, insofar it presents a conjecture as that's just what it is (it's just so), without asking the right questions to connect to.
- vonmoltke 7y agoThe story itself is not the thought-terminating cliche, labelling it as such (especially with no attempt to engage or correct the poster of it) is.
