Your not the only one Whitey.... I think most of us are.
I see your main concept, but I don't think you see mine. They would be hypocrites if they are family, they are not family because they are hypocrites.
This is how the flow should go
Reasoning:
Tribe A has bashed other tribes for being family.
Tribe A has exhibited the following qualities of a family tribe: X Y Z
Conclusion 1:
Tribe A is family.
Therefore
Conclusion 2(based on conclusion 1):
Tribe A is hypocritical for Bashing what it has become.
You cannot use a conclusion as reasoning for the conclusion. It makes no sense. I don't think you have done this, but what I am saying is that people will.
Irrelevant discussion now though, so close.
FnF this can now be closed when you log on since the tribes in question were disbanded today. Thanks
While i was using a conclusion to lead to another assumption/conclusion based on the first conclusion being true. This is because, as you said, in order for Tribe A to hypocritical (because it became family), it has to be assumed to be family, otherwise it is invalid. I suppose the first conclusion became a premise for the second one.
Also, in your first Conclusion I am not following the logic. In order for your third premise to be true, your conclusion has to also be true. Your third premise already implies your conclusion is already known to be true. This is circular reasoning.
MY HEAD HURTS. :icon_evil:
Well that is an example of hypocrisy is what I think you meant, not the definition.
Yes, you feel the tribe is hypocritical for being a family, and you have reasons for why you feel the tribe is family. That is logical.
What is not logical is feeling that the tribe is hypocritical (for merging or other reason), is a baby, are barb munchers/internal noblers, sucks, whatever, and because you hate hypocrites, barb muchers, babies, persons who suck, whatever, you vote they are a family.
I feel that the results of this poll will reflect much, much more of the later than the former.
At any rate, it does not matter, as the tribes in questions except Crash no longer exist.
Also, in your first Conclusion I am not following the logic. In order for your third premise to be true, your conclusion has to also be true. Your third premise already implies your conclusion is already known to be true. This is circular reasoning.
All I understand inductive reasoning to be is that, even if the premises are true it only means it is likely to be true. It's premises tend to have the words probably, likely, or reasonably. This does not fit either argument.
