After Keiler examines Bernstein’s logical fallacies, he dismantles Bernstein’s claims of the harmonic series as basis for all music. He writes that even the “simple diatonic scale requires…gross adjustment” (Keiler, 208). This is indeed true, with the fourth being 29 cents flat, the third 14 cents flat, and the seventh 12 cents flat (as compared to equal temperament tuning). Keiler also says the diatonic scale reaches into the outermost limits of the harmonic series. This is again factual, since…

The Texas Sharpshooter This fallacy describes when a considerable amount of evidence and data is available on the subject someone is writing about, however only certain ideas are pulled out and focused on.…

A new theory on fallacies should not just reassign terms to fallacies so people will feel better, which is the politically-correct agenda (What would we call fallacious arguments? Logically challenged discourse?) Rather, we don’t even need a “new” view, we need a view that has been around since humans first started contemplating speech, and that is to find meaning in an argument for the sake of meaning—a meaning that addresses the very fallacious nature of being human.
