Two wrongs do not make a right. In order words, son’s behavior of smoking or not should not be supported by dad’s inconsistency in behavior because dad is specifically pointing out the fact that smoking is bad for health which is scientifically true.
#CLN9Fall22#Fallacies Tu Quoque is pointing out that the one making argument is not acting consistently with the claims. For example, dad tells his son that he should quit smoking because it is bad for health. Son would argue he can smoke because his dad used to smoke as well.
@adarbonne12 Second, color is subjective especially when fruits don't have identical colors. While some can view blueberry as purple, others can view it as indigo, dark blue, or navy. So you can't assure people seeing blueberries for the first time won't recognize them by their name. (1), (2)
@adarbonne12 First, names do not necessarily have to be decided based on the object's appearance. A name is not a description of something, it is labeling to determine how to call things.
