In my last entry I pointed out a difference between hypocrisy and logical inconsistencies. Interestingly enough, the example that I gave of a logical inconsistency was a rhetorical error of a rhetorical error. In other words, the presentation of the argument is wrong, although not necessarily the argument itself. This can come from making a bad analogy or a poor generalization or forgetting to clarify something. It' incredibly easy to make rhetorical errors that make you sound like you have a logical inconsistency.
For me these have led to many, many misunderstandings. It's tough that people can't read my mind, and that's never going to change. Wouldn't the world be ideal if we could all understand each other? Obviously, it's not, and I attempt to make do with what I have. Rhetorical errors are easily forgivable fallacies, and I try my best to give people the benefit of the doubt and understand them as best as I can.
And yes, my best isn't very good, but I'm improving.
Your Honor,
Emperor Kraggh
