Re: How was it there in my claim? Camilla Send a noteboard - 03/06/2011 08:03:23 AM
Reading can be defined as the interpretation of signs, including visual signs like drawings.

That's as may be, but my argument was as follows:

1) The definition of reading excludes pictures.

2) This book is comprised of pictures.

3) One cannot read this book.

Attacking statement 1 doesn't mean there was a tautology inherent in the statement. :P


The tautology lies in your "by definition".

We have managed to move completely away from the original topic and started arguing syllogisms. Only on RAFO.


Indeed.

I hope you realize how tautological that was. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2011 06:50:54 PM 356 Views
I merely made the tautology explicit. It was already there in your claim. Camilla - 02/06/2011 09:23:28 PM 910 Views

how often have you read a book that you haven't gone out of your way to do so? Foxhead - 02/06/2011 02:59:37 PM 883 Views

I suck with comics, it just doesn't work for me. *NM* Helene - 02/06/2011 07:06:27 AM 395 Views
That looks like Jonah without the whale. Or maybe I'm just weird that way. Legolas - 02/06/2011 09:15:42 AM 976 Views
