That emotional appeal fallacy

I see...I feel the same way, except I don't feel like a dalek, because it isn't a matter of lacking emotions. It is understanding when emotions can be useful and when they impede our path to the truth. It should make you feel more like Spock.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
