The only fault of logic here is your failure to > address all bases for the analogy and your building a strawman. You are saying "A is B, A is C; Z is B; therefore, Z is C". (Where A is xterm, B is "depends on xlib6g", C is "depends on X", and Z is "XEmacs".) Notice the flaw in your logic yet? It should be obvious. As another example. Cars have windows.
