What the hell good is 2AFC (Two Alternatives, Forced Choice) even as a first-order approximizing tool if bullies laugh that it doesn't get a Prix Nobel? 2AFC is introduction of a dichotomy, which may be a false one.

A lot of philosophy seems to be to just create a false dichotomy, reject one alternative, and then conclude the other.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-21938324637136153682016-06-20T17:55:13.283-07:002016-06-20T17:55:13.283-07:00False dichotomies are all over the place.
