international brand is genuine because it has this sticker.

jungle are fascinating as they are discussed in stories.
Witty conclusions of funny logic:
·
In
past it was usual for a father to have more than a single son; therefore, at
present it is usual for a father to have less than a single son.
·
In
past it was usual for a father to have more than one son; therefore, at present
it is usual for a child to have more than one father.
·

past it was usual for many children to have the same father; therefore, at

biting and one in barking).

AOA...
ReplyDeletewell the part witty conclusion of funny logic is bit old concept, so many meanings can be interpreted, but i do appreciate the way you crafted word into things...
dear Zulfiqar Ali. Thanks for your comments. If one understand quotes so he must understand as well that funny side lies in absurdity and alternative is only logical meaning not 'so many meanings'; furthermore people those have done research know quite well the term 'Operational definition' once researcher has defined what he means no other meaning can be driven. The word 'funny logic' clearly indicates the intended meaning; i wonder that how 'so many meanings' can be interpreted' and when only as matter of fact_ that is logical one_ is possible but can not be driven as well because of operational definition .'Old concept' means that people have already used the term 'witty conclusion with funny logic'. i request you and really will appreciate if you provide me with names of scholars who have used this term with their quotes because then i will no longer be entitled to say 'Originality of words and 'originality of concept'. i will wait for your response but if you fail to provide me with names, your comments will be taken as 'funny comments with no logic' and i believe one day some scholar will write under this title.

Outstanding response. People like Mr Zulfigar seems to write without knowing what they are writing. we wait to see how he comes with proof to meet challenge.
ReplyDeleteYes Sir now you have cleared your topic :) in a very short well written response :)
ReplyDeletehmmm.....first: Sohail Sahab what you have done is fabulous and outstanding...creating such kind of things is really die hard thing because anyone and everyone can see and derived the one facet but its not the sole one, so who would watch for others, glad that people like you are here,
ReplyDelete:-)
its not so worthy to extract what everyone is seeing for...the actual experti lies here...
second whatever Mr. zulfiqar said is not that much reliable because there exit no proper justification for it...MEANINGS CAN NEVER BE INTERPRETED, THEY CAN ONLY BE DERIVED,because as words can be of many kinds some of them are those having spaces in them so every everyone would fill it with his own view...like the word 'FREEDOM' if a scholar/philosopher/writer used it so he must have defined that what this word means to HIM, and how and in which way he filled/derived its meaning....so doing interpretation of meaning would be same as giving meaning of meaning which is almost as illogical as it.
Salam Baig
Dear salman. i am sorry i have no idea who you are as more than 1000 people of more than 12 countries have read blog so far. Any how the point you raised is right. Meaning can be driven and can not be interpreted; for example, there is an injunction/order and many scholars interpret it to derive meaning from it. meaning is the result of interpretation therefore to my understanding can not be interpreted. Meaning can be driven only.
Deletesorry to say but my word were taken wrongly.... i talked about concepts not said that these words have already used by others.... so many eamples are available on such logics you have done your self thats what i appriacted....
ReplyDeleteExamples
This might also be described as the causality fallacy: Event Y follows from Event X, so one automatically concludes that X caused Y.
exmple :A fallacy of the form "All A are B. All C are B. Therefore, all A are C." Consider: All elms are trees. All oaks are trees. Therefore, all elms are oaks.
example, Only man is logical, No woman is a man, Therefore, no woman is logical.
Example: "Opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement amounts to nothing but opposition to free trade."
It is a firm conviction on my part that criticism has twin goads of reward and punishment. Reward is possible if one sees intellectual combat as a prod to self fulfillment and punishment in a sense that condescending attitude to detractor leads to failure in getting to grips with one's own shortcomings. I am really delighted to have your counter comments and appreciate your interest in fruitful engagement of dialogue and assure you on my part that exchange is is not at the expense of relationship.
ReplyDeleteThe examples you have given in your counter reply are of logical fallacies and none is of witty conclusion of funny logic. you better read my article 'originality a myth or reality' and read my remarks at the end of an article so that you can understand the difference in fallacies and also can understand what originality means.
