Notes
  1. Orlando Cepeda page at Baseball Reference
  2. Phil Gagliano page at Baseball Reference
gollark: For example, if I said "this eBook is a book because it's a long-form piece of verbal content", I could then use the noncentral fallacy to go "so it's made of paper and has text printed onto physical pages".
gollark: X is sort of Y if you stretch the/a definition, so X should have all the connotations of Y.
gollark: Particularly the noncentral fallacy.
gollark: It's basically entirely appeal to emotion, vague word association and stacks upon stacks of fallacies.
gollark: It's also very hard to empirically test anything in politics, not that people want to anyway.
