And you Google "Argument from Authority". Then tell me why it is relevant.

Re: Science Silliness
JSkains,
Actually were both wrong. I left out "between" as the proper preposition, just as on, above, over, and of are prepositions. The response sentence I made required 'between' as a prepositional phrase. In those sentences, between you and 'me' is the rule that pronouns following prepositions are always in the objective case 'me' not the subjective 'I'.
Aren't you the one that takes offense and says your above that when posters correct your spelling or grammar? Why revert to what you criticize with me?
Certainly not as refined as yours. That is why I was trying to agree with you on this thread. Do you always malign not only your antogonists but those that even attempt agreement with you?
Oh dear. mikwut
It's "You and I".

I don't think that is within your skillset.

All communication relies, to a noticeable extent on evoking knowledge that we cannot tell, all our knowledge of mental processes, like feelings or conscious intellectual activities, is based on a knowledge which we cannot tell.

Absolutely. Tossing a little of your own medicine your way.

JSkains,
I have never attempted to correct your spelling or grammar.

There's a difference between calling someone ignorant and saying they are employing an argument from ignorance. Given that you don't seem to understand the difference, I recommended googling the latter so you'd know what was being said.

I know the difference. I am asking you to Google what I asked and give me a reason I think that is important.

by the way, You do know that most of Science can be argued using your fallacy.
