Common Nonsense Based on Muddled Logic

Ken Tanner

Chapter Chapter 4 in Common Sense, 2013, pp 45-57 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The second group of Common nonsense statements features muddled logic. Often the product of lazy preparation or the simple disregard of fact collecting, these gems tend to offer scant support for their main argument. If you take a moment and dissect what was said, you’ll decide that there’s a complete lack of common sense being displayed.
