Confusing the being with the being currently associated with the title. It is a form of equivocation .
This is incorrect. If we say that "the world's oldest person" is referring to a specific person, then it is incorrect that the specific person has died more than once. If we say that "the world's oldest person" is referring to the person whomever happens to hold that title at the time, then it is incorrect because each person who held that title died just once. |
