Conclusion: Therefore you owe me a million dollars.

I'm not used to getting belly laughs from your posts, Ernest. Thanks for that one.

<<<If you showed me a black dog.
And then showed me another black dog.
And then said "see all dogs are black"
I don't have to present my own data (a white dog, a brown one, whatever) to say that your argument is faulty.>>>

Did you read Sherlock Holmes "The Dog That Was Not Black"<g>?

If no one shows up with a dog that was not black, I could very logically conclude all dogs are black. That is good logic.

" 1: 1+1=2
2: My car is silver
3: Mars is larger than Pluto

Conclusion: Therefore you owe me a million dollars. "

What you've shown above is direct observation and in any sensible persons mind does not need peer review since all of your conclusions have been verified countless times. But since you personally have the reputation of not backing up your statements, a peer review may be required.

No charge....
