This reminds me a bit of a quote from Mr. C. Darwin that I like:
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."
You're site is great by the way. I like appreciate that you provide short explanations to go along with each example, because some of the fallacies seem similar at first glance. The thing that drives me nuts about them is that many have two or three different names! Damn memorization tactics...5 years out of college and they still follow me! [emoji14]
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
