Anyway, since we are all posting off-topic rubbish in Rangers Chat I will add my off-topic rubbish.
Has anybody noticed how common it is for people to misuse the term false dichotomy? A recent example from my painful working life:
1. I listen to colleague A insist that two things, x and y, are equal.
2. I claim that x is slightly better than y so they are not equal.
3. I listen to colleague B insist that I have presented a false dichotomy.
4. I scratch my head since I never even presented a dichotomy.
I started to wonder why I'm hearing this term so often. Did someone awful like Stephen Fry, or Prof Brian Cox, say it on television thus making all of the viewers repeat it?
