I won’t tell you that, because they are. Leeches have a couple of valid uses, but the only one I can recall at the moment is that they secrete a something or other that is used in clotting disorders. Trepanning is performed to relieve brain swelling. Boru

That's his MO. Good luck trying to get anything through to him. My sister is the principal of a huge high school, in Virginia, outside Washington DC. She keeps in touch with her kids by teaching one class in logic. She's always on the lookout for practical examples of fallacies. Thanks for giving us one. It's called the false premise fallacy. Your first premise is not demonstrated. "A false premise is an incorrect proposition that forms the basis of an argument or syllogism. Since the premise (proposition, or assumption) is not correct, the conclusion drawn may be in error. However, the logical validity of an argument is a function of its internal consistency, not the truth value of its premises. For example, consider this syllogism, which involves a false premise:
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell

Doesn't look terribly medieval, does it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leech#Inte...ith_humans Quote:They [leeches] are used to help restore circulation after microsurgery to reattach body parts.[41] Other clinical applications include varicose veins, muscle cramps, thrombophlebitis,[43] and osteoarthritis.[44][45] Now you know who to go to with questions on 21st century medicine.
