If A equals B and B equals C, then A equals C. It’s a simple conclusion and argument that looks
rock solid. However, if it turns out
that A does not in fact, equal B, then the argument is flawed by a false
premise. The logic of an argument that
uses a false premise can actually be perfectly sound. I suppose that’s why you see it used so much
in social media marketing messages. The
logic can be mapped this way: A= a twitter profile mentions “marketing,” or other keyword you’ve
chosen, in a tweet or in their bio. |
