Right, and his argument wasn't even against SvD, it was against a track that he played one time live. So it was completely irrelevant to the topic of this thread anyways. How is "proving" that a track is "bad/dull/shitty" saying anything about SvD's style, when it's not even his track? I was making the point that Sander is NOT "jumping on the electro house bandwagon" by showing that he plays tracks that are progressive and very much unlike the kinds of tracks played by electro house/tech house/whatever you want to call it, dj's, and it was dismissed because someone thought that specific track was shitty. That is what doesn't make sense. Whether you like it or not, that track is nothing that could come close to being considered electro anything.

Originally posted by srussell0018 Besides, where did I use the appeal to novelty logical fallacy? I never said it was good BECAUSE it was new and progressive, I implied that he didn't like it because it was. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he does like proggy stuff, but nowhere did I say that progressive was good because it was new or popular.

I say the absolute value of x is not equal to or greater than one. When I make the declaration regarding variable x, I have immediately implied it has a value of zero. If, therefore, someone else has come along and proposed I said x = 0, I can't contradict myself by saying I never said that even though, in a strictly literal since, I never actually assigned the value to x, in the first place. That would make me look like an idiot.

And I was pointing out that while you were attempting to make that point, you were using a multitude of logical fallacies which actually worked against you making any point, what-so-ever.

Okay, but people don't speak like that. You can quote all the logic you want, but the fact of the matter is, you don't know what I meant, and since I didn't literally say "Progressive music is good because it is new" you can't assume that that's what I meant, no matter how much logic you quote.

all you're doing is trying to push buttons. you're not talking about music at all. This isn't a logic forum, and you've never heard this music before.

So why can you assume what Redd meant but EZ can't assume what you meant?

wrong. I was pointing out that people don't speak in the form "I say that the absolute value of x is...." which is a fact. Nobody talks like that, which is the point I was making. Besides, for me to be using the Argumentum ad populum logical fallacy, I would have to be saying that something was true because most people believed it to be true, when I was only pointing out the fact that you're construing your arguments in a manner that supports themselves, namely rewording things I said (or didn't) in a way that makes you seem correct.

you're right. I admit I just assumed that he didn't like that track because it was something new/progressive. If I was wrong in that, my apologies.

However, I still maintain that whether one thinks it's good or not, it does show that he doesn't solely play electro/tech house, and still plays a diverse assortment of tracks in his shows/mixes.

so overrated that now you don't have to type his complete name and use acronym instead

You're not talking about music, either. Inherently, almost any musical composition is the manifestation of a complex mathematical algorithm which proposes and resolves an argument within a set of quantifiable limitations applied to that argument. In-so-being, there is an inherent logic to music.

Perhaps people might find a little more awe in your spell-binding arguments, here:

I'm quite sure you'll fit right in for about fifteen minutes.
