The OED is an example. This is annoying.

I'm not sure what you're saying. OED? You mean The Oxford English Dictionary? Is a dictionary being appealed to again?

Quote:You're saying just because a concept is accepted, it should also be known before you understand it.

Can you explain why it should be accepted that angels and the like be classified as non-empirical objects without resorting to logical fallacies? Appealing to a dictionary as proof is a logically fallacy similar to appealing to authority.

I just want to know why you guys think they're "non-empirical" whilst apparently dismissing other extraordinary claims for empirical reasons. So far I've been only been given appeal to definition and consensus fallacies in response.

And it is being explained to you. More arm waving. I expected more from you.

I don't see it. What are you talking about?

Good. Now continue your conversation with Ryft. Adieu.

He seems to have gone into hibernation.

Side-note: After reviewing my posts in this thread, I definitely need to learn to spell "empirical" correctly.
