It is not necessary to use the word "true" to fall into the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

They key point is that you go around defining the word "X" in a non-conventional way to make sure that your "all X have property Y" is trivially true.



I understand that. :-)

Again, I don't think I committed the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
