MEME REFERENCE
Patrick Star and Man Ray
Use when patient step-by-step logic makes someone accept every premise, yet they still reject the unavoidable conclusion.
- What it expresses
- Reasoning succeeds locally but fails at the final inference because the other person refuses consistency.
- Example
- A coworker agrees the task is done, agrees done tasks leave the board, then insists it must stay; share the wallet exchange.
- When not to use it
- New evidence legitimately breaks the chain between the premises and conclusion; revising the answer is not irrational refusal.
