Yes, the excuse reminds me of the (very apropos today) No True Scotsman fallacy:

Person A: "No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
Person B: "I am Scottish, and I put sugar on my porridge."
Person A: "Well, no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
- zo1 12y agoI'm curious... Do the Scottish have a book that states whether or not a Scotsman should eat porridge? Because if it does, and it's a book they follow for their Scottish belief system, then that throws a spanner in the whole comparison.
