Hi All,
I have been reading about logical fallacies here:
http://www.fallacyfiles.org/modlscop.html
and here:
http://www.iep.utm.edu/f/fallacy.htm#Modal
and I find the explanations kind of confusing.
Does the modal scope fallacy boil down to:
If something is demonstrably true, it must in all cases have been
true.
or
If something is demonstratably true, it was inevitable that it would
become true
or
does it means something else (please explain)
Thanks
.
