On: Dicing an Onion, the Mathematically Optimal Way

[rjh29]

Yeah you know better than a classically trained French chef. LOL. Do you think he never considered that?

[arcanemachiner → rjh29]

Yes, but instead of considering the pedigree of the instructor, you could also just cut the fucking onion.

[rjh29 → arcanemachiner]

What's wrong with his pedigree?

[IAmBroom → rjh29]

Expert Fallacy, for one.

Michelin-rated chefs have been quoted as believing that washing wild mushrooms makes them soggy and removes their "wild flavor". Which are both provably false.

Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.

[Doxin → b112]

It can be a logical fallacy. It's not nearly always.

[account42 → Doxin]

It is always a fallacy because even if the conclusion is correct you are cheating yourself out of learning the reason for the decision.
