All, (01)
Am I the only one having trouble finding the relationship to Ontology
here. (02)
Would this not be better served as personal correspondance or related to
a wikipedia topic on predicate calculus. (03)
This forum is rapidly lossing focus, and interest or is that your
intent. (04)
At the very least create a new subject, so I can automatically discard
it. (05)

Or "did Z" or "is a Republican" or .... Basically, any attempt to
suggest Y's assertion is false by attacking Y's character or questioning
Y's motives is an ad hominem argument. Also, I'd say that you only want
"false", rather than "true/false" above; an argument that appeals to
what Y said or did as a reason for the *truth* of X is usually a
so-called "appeal to authority". Would you agree, Ryan? (010)
