Talk:Genetic fallacy

I could find nothing on this fallacy:

The Nazi Mathematics Fallacy is a logical fallacy. It is the belief that because an idea is held by people who do evil things, the idea is itself evil and must be false. The name comes from the classic example:

HITLER believed that 2 + 2 = 4! Therefore, 2+2 MUST equal 5!!!!

The above is just part of a fallacy called the Genetic fallacy Conservative 21:54, 1 April 2007 (EDT)conservative

Not sure I understand

Are you saying that just because an arguments foundation is false, doesn't mean it's invalid? Well, last time I checked, when you take away the foundation the structure tends to collapse.

But seriously, when I (and I'm sure many others) criticize a source, it's not necessarily to destroy the argument, it's to make you bring a better source!

Not to get off subject, but you should read this about Xmas trees not that I really care about them at all. We Jews aren't really fans of it.... :) DLerner 11:58, 13 March 2008 (EDT)
