Young grashoppah, you can be led to water, but you cannot be made to play the violin.

As to the question...the way I see it, if you simply respond with "because," you aren't really being very logical. That is, it's like the equivalent of saying "I'm right because I say I'm right." It's an appeal to authority, and all philosophy students and teachers should know that it's a big no-no (or logical fallacy to be more accurate).

Whereas responding with "why not?" leaves open the possibility for your own error, but also asks for proof from the other side. Of course, simply because the other side cannot prove their view does not necessarily mean that your view is the correct one.

I think that neither of these answers is the "correct" answer, although one is "more correct" than the other.

the answer is "why not." My Architecture teacher was given that question for an exam. He answered "why not" while everyone else in the class spent up to 4 hours writing out the answer. He received an A+

Answering in a question is simply avoid the original question. For example...

"What is the meaning of life?"
"What isn't the meaning of life?"

Actually, that just sounds like something a philosopher would say...

Because.

I say that because although sometimes you do things on the spur of the moment, for the most part, people do things for a reason. If you do something and you don't know why, you tend to get locked up...

Why?

reasons you cannot understand.

Posted by Smeagol on Feb-20-2004 14:06:

why not? relies on the argument "abscense of proof is proof of abscense".
why? why not? is just two people lacking arguments and pointing it out to each other. There has to be a because to make a proper diskussion...
Although just the word because isn't much of an argument...
