A World Of Paralogisms — Variables, Weekly

A quick google search defines a paralogism as -

A piece of illogical or fallacious reasoning, especially one which appears superficially logical or which the reasoner believes to be logical.

I am severely biased against crappy arguments. I am not saying I don’t make them on occasion, but they seriously grind my gears. Lazy arguments are the analogical equivalent of trying to pass a bubble as a balloon, it just doesn’t work bro. Please stop drawing false conclusions from iffy premises and based on questionable logic. Thanks.

On that note, I bid you welcome to Variables, Weekly.
