Elephant,
I have been trying to resist, but I must risk exposing my ignorance and jump
in. I understand how a statement like "All rules are false" doesn't work
because "all rules are false" is itself a rule and thereby by definition,
false. But "Every rule has an exception" is different. Here's how I am
seeing this:
"All rules have an exception" is a rule, and therefore by definition, must
have at least one exception. Therefore there has to be at least one rule
with no exception. The rule with no exception is "All rules have
exceptions." How is this illogical?
thanks for your indulgence,
marty j
