RE: Are You Prepared For The "Infodemic"?
As for my comment above not containing any substance, that may be true. That also doesn't make it incorrect [the fallacy fallacy], nor does it make it invalid...
It does however make it an UNSOUND claim.
It also makes it a naked appeal to ignorance.
If you have a logically sound objection, please present it as such.
Expecting people to accept your bald assertions based on your "reputation" is pretty hypocritical if you refuse to accept the bald assertions of others based on their "reputation".
It does however make it an UNSOUND claim."
Haha, no it doesn't.
"If you have a logically sound objection, please present it as such."
Make me.
"Expecting people to accept your..."
I'm not expecting or assuming anything - you are.
Any claim that is presented without proper logical structure and explicit axioms is unsound.
No, although it may be unsound. Or it may not. Your assumptive opinion is that my statement isn't sound.
Also, the above is not necessarily a claim - a statement presented as a true fact. If you want "In my opinion..." added to the beginning of my statement, sure, you can assume it's there. It's de facto there at the beginning of most of my comments online. If I had said "and that's a fact" or "I want everybody to know" or "here's the truth", that would be a claim, and then yes, it may be unsound. Or not.
In my opinion.
Any claim [or statement] that is presented without proper logical structure and explicit axioms is unsound [by definition].
Any claim of "opinion" is an appeal to GNOSIS [private knowledge] and cannot be considered logically sound [on its face].
