Thank you for asking one of the two questions that have occurred to me.


The other question is about the title of this thread. It seems to me that if I were being asked to choose between the two options given, I'd expect to also see "All of the above," "None of the above," and "Other" as my options. Those options seem to have been picked out of a very strange hat, unless they are just there to focus attention on Charles's book.

It seems to me that the title constitutes a specious dialectic, but I'm not sure. Does anybody else see this? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

p.s. I suppose I could ask, in the spirit of the title of this thread, if that title constitutes a specious dialectic or a non sequitur. Well, which is it?
