For one, it assumes language is entirely literal. It's not.
By it's nature, words have meaning only because we give them meaning.
Second, it implies a logical fallacy that, "IF YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU DIDN'T WANT IT, THEN THAT MUST MEAN YOU WANTED IT."
Example: Person wishes for gold. Evil genie gives them gold in their belly and they die.
"YOU DIDN'T SAY WHERE!" No
dipshit. That is implied, because language is implicit. Assuming you
want it one place or another because they did not specify where is
fucking illogical bullshit.
By that same piece of shit logic I
can go around punching people in the face saying, "YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU
DIDN'T WANT ME TO PUNCH YOU!"
And that is why you're full of shit. |
