- bananamerica 5y agoNaming fallacies is not only lazy, unpersuasive, and infantile... In this case it is just plain wrong. This is a debate, not fallacy UNO.
- lostmsu 5y agoPlease demonstrate how your statement is not the fallacy then. It should be clear to be a fallacy to anyone who likes music and never heard of the dude you're talking about, and there are just so many of us.
- bananamerica 5y agoI'm not playing logic UNO with you. I can live with the fact that some person on the internet thinks I'm wrong.
- lostmsu 5y agoNo, you aren't playing "logic UNO" as you put it. You are just not having a discussion in good faith. As you first imply people never hearing about some musician are not "serious", and then you claim that having a logical discussion is somehow a lower form of a debate.
- WalterBright 5y agoI'm a serious music fan. I've heard of Miles Davis, but cannot identify a single one of his songs. Though I suspect you'd conclude that not knowing Davis' discography automatically makes me not a serious music fan.
- zeruch 5y ago"Though I suspect you'd conclude that not knowing Davis' discography automatically makes me not a serious music fan." Not necessarily. Just not a serious jazz fan. Most people when they say they are a "music fan" invariably mean rock/pop of various stripes (from indie to metal and everything in between) and not jazz, or opera or "world music" so maybe it's that you gave a pretty broad statement with no caveats?
