B: Then, what about Mr. Bean? He is an Englishman. A: He is technically NOT an Englishman I mean. A: Every man loves woman. B: What about gay people? A: They are NOT a man!! A: Every individual's economical behavior is rational. B: But there are some irrational behaviors too. A: Then those are not economical behaviors. Can someone help me figure out what kind of fallacy is this? |
