Talk:Assault on Reason

In logic, one of the best ways to determine that a premise is faulty is to derive two contradictory inferences from it. This proves that the premise is false.
Generally, whenever we catch someone telling a lie, we begin to doubt other things they've spoken about.
Any piece of "reasoning" which contains an internal contradiction (i.e., both affirms and denies the same point) is considered to be unsound. --Ed Poor 10:27, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
