Reading the below conversation between Nick and Joey. Then, answer the following questions (2 paragraphs each):
- This conversation includes a red herring fallacy. Where does the fallacy occur, and why is it a red herring? Be sure to define the fallacy, and discuss how it is fallacious within the context.
- At the end of the conversation, Nick says, “I proved that youâ€
re wrong, and if youâ€re wrong, Iâ€m right.” Is this a true statement? Does proving that someone else is wrong about something mean that you are right about that same something? Explain your answer (this statement also includes a sneaky fallacy; identify/explain it for +1 EC to your overall score).
Joey: So, what happens when youâ€
re wrong?
Nick: Well, Joey, Iâ€m never wrong.
Joey: But you canâ€t always be right.
Nick: Well, if itâ€s your job to be right, then youâ€re never wrong.
Joey: But what if you are wrong?
Nick: Okay, letâ€s say that youâ€re defending chocolate and Iâ€m defending vanilla. Now, if I were to say to you, “Vanillaâ€s the best flavor ice creamâ€, youâ€d say …?
Joey: “No, chocolate is.â€
Nick: Exactly. But you canâ€t win that argument. So, Iâ€ll ask you: So you think chocolate is the end-all and be-all of ice cream, do you?
Joey: Itâ€s the best ice cream; I wouldnâ€t order any other.
Nick: Oh. So itâ€s all chocolate for you, is it?
Joey: Yes, chocolate is all I need.
Nick: Well, I need more than chocolate. And for that matter, I need more than vanilla. I believe that we need freedom and choice when it comes to our ice cream, and that, Joey Naylor, that is the definition of liberty.
Joey: But thatâ€s not what weâ€re talking about.
Nick: Ah, but thatâ€s what Iâ€m talking about.
Joey: But … you didnâ€t prove that vanillaâ€s the best.
Nick: I didnâ€t have to. I proved that youâ€re wrong, and if youâ€re wrong, Iâ€m right
