MODERATORS
Moreso to not assume things that were never said.
It's the whole, "I like pancakes", "oh so you hate waffles?" kind of thing. Much worse logical mistake than believing what you read, IMO.
Easy enough to debunk lies when they're written down. Much harder to debunk lies that come from within your own head.
Truth doesn't care if it's a logical fallacy. The pancake/waffle thing holds a lotta water!
Someone can like pancakes while hating waffles. That does not ever mean anyone who says they like pancakes also hates waffles.
Now, if we're talking about things with loaded contexts, like someone saying, "yea I really like those SS uniforms, they're stylish" then, you can start correctly asking some questions. Still isn't a guarantee, but you have a lot better chance.
