An interesting rhetorical strategy, but if you start with a fallacy, your point is unsound, humorous or otherwise.


Anyway.

I don't really have a preference; there are just as many possibilities for high-tech or low-tech conworlds, and I especially have fun with worlds that have a mix. Domhantir is actually pretty high-tech given the capabilities of various magic arts, but a lot of the places where I do most of my development (like Feayra) are very low tech.


If I start with a falalcy it is fallacious only within that context.

I agree though, I enjoy steampunk for example :3 great mix of laods

But any conclusion that then follows from it is unsound. Come on, you were just talking about logical validity over on the zeeb [;)]

I can't work this out from context...is it a typo, or term I'm not familiar with...?

Only if there is a connection thats intended :P

If I use a fallacy to make a joke it is meant as a laugh because of its absurdity which I then use to make a point then the point isn't depended on the fallacy and if its not depended it is not unsound because if Iremove the fallacy it remains still valid :P Though the fallacy makes it more fun.

I'm a sarcasm-utilizing cynic. (yeah, that was random, but you said sarcasm, so...)
I'm also a überdragon trapped in a human body, but don't tell anyone.
