This article is so cool and to read it is such
an enjoyable moment. However, I am wondering whether this article can truly be
accepted and to be followed then? Notice that, this article is lack of facts or
in other means, the sources of facts are not clear. I detect a number of
fallacies made by the author. As for the first fallacy, it is definitely due to
appeal to irrelevant authority. How great is the author that he can call
himself as ‘The Guru of Cool’ and state “I am adult and I know better”. The
readers will surely argue for the gazette which certified the author’s
qualification in commanding people as being cool or not.
It is great if people can think of two things
at a time. But, the author should not do the fallacy of wild goose chase. This
is clearly stated as the author said, “smoking might kill you one day”. It
should be linked to the health of the smoker right? But then, the author twists
the issue of smoking in such an expensive authority as the money can be used
for dating, and to buy clothes. This statement will surely create unsatisfied
emotion among the readers especially the smokers. Cigarettes to smokers are
like live-convincing.
At last, this article is nice to be a reading
tool but the readers should not simply trust the ideas as there are a quite
number of fallacies used. So, with that, take it and learn it.
