the tu quoque fallacy, or "you too" fallacy
asserts that if a person (or person) fail to act in a consistent matter with their stated position, that stated position is wrong,
as my own post urging people to examine wikipedias excellent list of fallacies has just reminded me
now, i did not exactly say that failure to buy demonstrates that 5 million is not really coming... but i did veer perilously close to that fallacious position
and to be sure, just because people are not acting on their confidence that 5 million is forthcoming in 6 weeks does not mean we can know that will not happen
nor did i say i did. i meant to suggest that people were perhaps somewhat insincere in representing their confidence
however, there is the factor, as i myself have acknowledged, that most of the long longs have loaded and loaded and reloaded as the price failed to rise and occasionally dropped. so it is not a very powerful example of cognitive dissonance when people here believe 5 million is a sure thing and yet do not buy
and furthermore, people like megaladon are buying!
so whats up sellers? hold!
also, if anyone else would care to stand on the shoulders of giants, there is plenty of room
if you are a fox news fan, this will either spoil it for you, or provide you a fun new game. pretty much every sentence uttered on that channel can be categorized as one or more of the following types of fallacies
