I am not "pre-law" you actually guessed correctly, I am polisci (international affairs).  In the US, there is no true pre-law, it's usually polisci with an emphasis on domestic law. Oh, btw...

Don't try to get it now, you probably won't. But even if it takes years to get the joke, try real hard to remember what your wrote there. I promise, you won't graduate from law school without finding that really funny.

The Appeal to Ridicule is a fallacy in which ridicule or mockery is substituted for evidence in an "argument."

A fallacy is, very generally, an error in reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts. To be more specific, a fallacy is an "argument" in which the premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of support.

Try not to repeat that error in the future.

 

 

 



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
