#Exploding the tale

By Dr. Sohail Ansari

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.

"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a short tale by Hans Christian Andersen about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that they don't see any suit of clothes until a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" The tale has been translated into over 100 languages.’’

Exploding tale   

·        Who is qualified to determine that thing is invisible but existent or thing is non-existent therefore not visible? The whole story rests on questionable assumption that only swindler are well-equipped to do so and thus they are the only intelligent people as thing is visible to them.

One even overlook this logical flaw, intelligence cannot be only determined by the ability to perceive cloth. This can be one determinant but not the only determinant.

Cloth cannot be seen (by fool), even we believe but cloth can be felt by him.
