j4age component required, but not installed 26 - Turn The Tables

Sophistic & Logic

-todo

Original text

A brilliant move is the retorsio argumenti, or turning of the tables, by which your opponent's argument is turned against himself. He declares, for instance, "So-and-so is a child, you must make allowance for him". You retort, "Just because he is a child, I must correct him; otherwise he will persist in his bad habits".

    I find this english translation of the last part of 26. bit confusing. perhaps "PRECISELY because he is a child...." would make the point clearer
