Anatomy of a discussion with Lawson - 03-25-04

Person A: States premises, makes argument, states conclusion.

Lawson: Instead of attacking the logical argument, attacks the premises.

Person A: Backs up premises with a cited source.

Lawson: Attacks the source of the citation.

yada yada. I'll add more when I feel like it.

Suffice to say that never is the conclusion specifically argued against, just obscured in argument.


Bismarck once said "Fools say they like to learn from their experiences, but I prefer to learn from the experience of others."

"Move that one of your pieces, which is in the worst plight, unless you can satisfy yourself that you can derive immediate advantage by an attack." -Adolph Anderssen
