<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2785353, member: 74968&quot;]I was not going to respond, but your latest post forced me to because of the lack of sound argumentation. The same qualities I saw in your original post.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a logical fallacy. 50, 000,000 frenchmen can in fact be mistaken. This is called the bandwagon approach. Just because most people think so does not make it so. Many people believed that the sun rotated around the earth rather than the reverse. Did that make it true?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just because you do not know them does not mean that they do not exist. I did a quick search on google and found scholars who disagree with your premise concerning Hypatia and Alexandria. You can find this information yourself with the same quick search. Your reasoning is faulty. One should always assume that someone else know more than oneself. You needed much more thorough research for this paper. I am not going to do it for you.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Who says your experts are actually experts? Even if they are, experts are often wrong. What makes them experts is not that they are correct, it is that they continually search for those who might demonstrate that they are incorrect. Doubt is key to good scholarship.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you will rewrite your paper keeping these things in mind. In my opinion, worth little as it may be, this would greatly improve the paper.</p><p><br /></p><p>To other reading this post, reread the OPs post and apply some of the metrics I have outlined. Do you honestly think the arguments stand up to critical scrutiny?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
