Organizational Leader and Decision Making

In the same argument, a main term is used in two or three senses and the apparent success of the argument relies on the relevance change. The correct legislative authority may abolish any statute. A law is the law of gravity. The rule of gravity may, however, be overturned by the appropriate legal authority. It is clear that the first assumption is irrelevant, thus a fallacious statement, as the two senses of 'regulation' (laws governing human actions vs. uniformities of nature) are made explicit. And we see John Stuart Mill arguing that pleasure is desirable, revealing that famed thinkers are not exempt again: "The only evidence that an entity is apparent is that people really see it. The only proof that a sound is audible is that people hear it ... In the same sense, I understand, the only proof that something is beneficial can be created is that people really seek it ... [T]he truth is that we have not only all the facts that the case accepts, but all that it is conceivable to require, that satisfaction is a positive thing. "Utilitarianism, John Stuart Mill. But in this passage, "desirable" is used in two separate ways to mean "can be desired" (just as "visible" means "can be seen") and "worthy of being desired".

Arguing that an argument must be valid because it is claimed by lots of people. The Bible has had a larger effect on the rules, architecture, ethics, music and literature of world culture than any other book in history, several of the greatest figures and philosophers in history have confirmed the truth and impact of the Bible. The Bible may be real, but the fact that certain people consider it to be so is indifferent to whether or not it is. Instead of taking the simple fact that they believe it as a justification to do so, we should examine and determine their motives for believing so. But ... a majority of reasonably educated individuals may often be a reasonably clear guide to the reality of a claim: see the circumstances under which an appeal to power might not be fallacious.
