Have you heard of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy?



No, I hadn't, thank you for the tip actually.

However, I did not commit it, I never asserted "true mystics" or anything along those lines. I in fact admitted that my choice of words was poor, and that I was having difficulty choosing a better description.


It is not necessary to use the word "true" to fall into the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

They key point is that you go around defining the word "X" in a non-conventional way to make sure that your "all X have property Y" is trivially true.


I understand that. :-)

Again, I don't think I committed the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
