Yes, I did. Why? You wish to change the subject and discuss confirmation bias now?

You implore me, I comply. The link you provided say the same thing I just told you, the logical fallacy you mention consists in appealing to people with no expert knowledge on the issue, and therefore does not apply to this particular case, as I keep telling you, since Khalidi is a qualified expert.

@Kirilov @argumento @gimulnautti @KarunaX @ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine
Yes, and saying you expect a rigorous work from an historian with good academic credentials is not a logical fallacy.
If we followed your logic, we should discard all opinions coming from experts renowned in their particular field, because that would be an appeal to authority.
Basing one’s assessment on solid work is not the same as citing a public figure with no expert knowledge on the issue.

If they did, you could easily demonstrate it, since it’s logic, instead of just claiming there is a logical fallacy.
Karuna said he expected a rigorous work, because the author is known to produce rigorous work. That’s perfect logic.

These textbook examples do not apply here, for the reason I mentioned.

@Kirilov @gimulnautti @KarunaX @ymishory @appassionato @bookstodon @palestine
It seems logical to me to expect solid work from someone known for producing solid work, and I see no fallacy here.
