[QUOTE]Originally posted by Eclipse: [QB] I've got to say that I shudder whenever that phrase "self-evident" perks its ugly 'ead above the parapet. Its use demostrates an incredble ignorance of the processes of logic. Any logical statement is "If... Then..." Sooner or later you have to make assumptions (e.g. parallel lines never meet) that have indeterminate truth. Most of the time, when people call something "self-evident" they're actually attempting to devalue their opponent(s). The reasoning is this: X is self-evident to all sensible human beings. You deny X. Therefore you are either insensible or inhuman or both. It is an attempt to ridicule those who cut a little too close to the bone. [/QB][/QUOTE]
