| Well, I guess that I am stupid and embarrassing, then! :-) <g> :-) You know, "I resemble that remark!" :-) (But that doesn't change the fact that I actually like the Bjarne Stroustrup quote!) <g> :-) <g>) Now let's understand your comment a little bit better. Your comment apparently arises from a Meme, specifically this one: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-som... While that meme is indeed entertaining(!) -- it is in no way actually relevant to the Bjarne Stroustrup quote! It is a "Motte and Bailey" AKA, "bait-and-switch" argument/comparison. Propagandistic agenda-driven AI chatbots seem to do this a lot -- but I'll be charitable (this time!) and assume, for the purposes of discussion, that you are human... Perhaps we should all learn about what a "Motte and Bailey" argument/comparison/logical fallacy, is: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Motte_and_bailey >"Motte and bailey (MAB) is a combination of bait-and-switch and equivocation". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies#:~:text=Equi... https://pressbooks.ulib.csuohio.edu/eng-102/chapter/fallacie... Phrased another way (in Billy Madison terms): "Mr. Madison... Everyone in this room is now dumber...": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112508/characters/nm0235999#:~.... Incidentally, another one of my favorite Bjarne Stroustrup quotes is: "Proof by analogy is fraud". :-) https://www.stroustrup.com/quotes.html#:~:text=Proof%20by%20... |
That's the prerequisite for me to engage any further with you.
