BY THEIR FRUIT YOU SHALL KNOW THEM.

Faulty logic leads to faulty conclusions. A quick illustration:

Scientists were trying to determine how frogs hear.

They injected a harmless, temporarily paralyzing drug into the frog’s left front leg then they stood behind the frog and clapped loudly. The surprised frog jumped.

Next they disabled the right front leg. They clapped and the frog jumped.

Then the left rear leg was given the shot. They clapped and the frog jumped.

Finally ALL FOUR legs were disabled. They clapped. No jump.

Conclusion: Frog’s hearing organ is in their right rear leg!

This sort of logical fallacy can lead to things like taking guns away from law-abiding citizens to eliminate criminal use of guns by outlaws; or to printing paper money without any real commodity backing it; or to killing human beings who are still gestating in the womb; or administering justice on a sliding scale based upon the perpetrator’s position of power or wealth; and so on ad infinitum.

Welcome to 2016 where 15 of the last 23 years have been controlled by Frog Leg Logic.
