[QUOTE="LotusBud, post: 1013778, member: 1123"] That's a loaded question. Look it up, Einstein. OK, moron. I know very well the standard "When did you stop beating your wife?" fallacy example. But the nuance, as ALWAYS, in the complex question fallacy eludes you, unsurprisingly. From Britannica: The fallacy of many questions ([I]plurimum interrogationum[/I]) consists in demanding or giving a single answer to a question when this answer could either be divided (example: “Do you like the twins?” “Neither yes nor no; but Ann yes and Mary no.”) or refused altogether, because a mistaken presupposition is involved (example: “Have you stopped beating your wife?”). You are demanding a single answer from me. Your demand includes within it the fallacious presupposition that "Bibi" responded in the ONLY possible way, when in fact there are a multiplicity of possible responses that might contain diplomacy within the approach. From AI overview in Google search: A [B][I]loaded question[/I][/B] is a complex question (subcategory, Einstein) that contains a controversial assumption or bias, and is designed to get a specific answer. Here are some examples of loaded questions: [LIST] [*][B]"Have you stopped cheating on your taxes yet?"[/B]: This question assumes that the respondent has cheated in the past. [*][B]"Do you agree that our company's product is the best on the market?"[/B]: This question assumes that the company's product is the best. [/LIST] I never said you asked me a loaded question. I said you committed the many questions fallacy, because, quite simply, your bullshit question requires many answers, and as I said you in my earlier post, you're not looking for an answer at all. You are simply trying to get me to say something that you will then refute, so I am not going to waste my time with your incorrigible bullshit anymore. [/QUOTE]
