Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

Quote

·       Studies escape notice for their usual balance of judgment; they are note-worth for their unusual balance or imbalance.  

Putting foot in mouth

·       We put our foot in our mouth when it comes to taking rational decision by assuming the characteristics of a wider universe based upon the characteristics of a limited number of samples or taking individual instances as the point of extrapolation to generalize that all other similar instances are governed by the same logic, and when things do not result because of our  mis-generalizations of tremendous magnitude in the assumed situation and our set of hypotheses fails to be the characteristic trends of the subject at hand we complain.

We must always be better if we understand that it is always better to assume the scope of the generalization as narrow so generalization does not necessarily apply to things lie beyond the lines of immediate evidence.

Real Frustration

·      I am not frustrated but thankful in lacking the power to make my lies sound plausible; but greatly frustrated in lacking the power to make my truth believed.  

Mediocre creativity

·      Mediocre creativity creates the repertoire of neologisms; but superb creativity creates the new meanings of the exhausted words.   

Original logic

·        Logic that is not derived from related ideas or other logical examples of the subject matter and has no previous instances of the same kind which set certain premises of evaluation for their successors is the original logic.

Fallacy of assumption

·        Reasoning that roads of thoughts one takes to make connections between scattered facts to create a theory is unimportant if theory can explain reality assumes that success in making connection is the success in making a perfect connection.  

Points to ponder

·       Inductive and deductive are the two eyes of logic that contribute to reasoning; however, reasoning is frustrating if it can’t leap out of the logic text book. .  

·       Simplifying language does not mean non-standard language; similarly simplifying the complexities of one’s ideas does not mean doing violence to them.  

·      Information must be tailored to one’s reasoning powers so that recipient can use his sense to make sense of the information he receives. Information bigger than one’s logic makes recipient unable to see the bigger and a coherent picture and complete the jigsaw puzzle of the world.  

Fallacy

·       Every time I go to a church, I feel sleepy; therefore, I feel sleepy because I go to a church. (Person feels sleepy because he is not interested in the activities of church).  

Fallacy of analogy

·       Thinking too much can stop one from leaping because if ‘you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusion that are contrary to reason’.
