  • How about the fallacy that you cannot prove something is impossible? In general, you can't. But sometimes you can. If the definition of a concept or thing leads to self-contradiction, that concept or thing is impossible.

    You cannot find two integers whose ratio is the square root of two. You cannot draw a square triangle.

    Oh and the phrase "you can never say that something is impossible" can be reworded as "it is impossible to say that something is impossible" - paradox.

  • the first beer? hey i wonder what happens when this firments? it does so you have identified what it does what makes it better if its done over here or over there?

  • actually, you have to assume that the die is fairly balanced to have a 1:6 chance!

    46,656 isn't astronomically high! :)

    Flipping a coin and having it land heads 100 times in a row... not THAT's astronomical! :))

  • I love the idea of this "Friday Fallacy". Dont know why nobody thought of it before. Looking forward to the next one already.

  • STOUT, lovely

  • Yeah, I love beers ALMOST as much as I love wine.

  • You should do the burden of proof fallacy its my favorite

  • Sure thing, Cojax.

  • false dilemma fallacy is my favorite:

    If not A, then B... assuming there's only two possible scenarios, and disproving one automatically proves the other.

  • right and because it is a dice you roll it...because it is a machine you advance it if the die needs a proper table or surface it becomes itself... to use a die is to have a relationship with the die what it needs is felt. what the board needs is a dice.

  • Hehe. Yes, die is singular, dice is plural. And the comment that it "should have taken" a certain number of rolls is actually a reformulation of the gambler's fallacy. ;) Apart from that, good video. Most creationists don't understand that a selection mechanism completely changes the nature of an otherwise random process, and that's like 50% of the theory of evolution. If you take constructive criticism, I think videos like these benefit a lot from some graphical illustrations.
