Love and logic: The story of fallacy I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldnt stand the idea of being the only football player who didnt, so he made a pact that hed give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasnt the brightest guy. Polly wasnt too shrewd, either. But she was pretty, well-off, didnt dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup.

Cool, she said over her gum. The doctrine of logic, ” I said, is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are we ll known. First lets look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter. Great, ” she agreed. Dicto Simpliciter means an u
