| tarheel91 said: Ignoratio elenchi (also known as irrelevant conclusion or irrelevant thesis) is the formal fallacy of presenting an argument that may in itself be valid, but doesn't address the issue in question. "Ignoratio elenchi" can be roughly translated by ignorance of refutation, that is, ignorance of what a refutation is; "elenchi" is from the Greek έλεγχος, meaning an argument of disproof or refutation. 1) You got the point. 2) You're trying to distract from the real argument. 3) If a scholarly US History book uses the term Indian to refer to these people, I think it's an acceptable term.

I'm sorry, but you missed the point long ago.

I was actually not being genuine from the moment I first responded to Parokki. The last sentence of that post should have been a dead give away. You still took the bait... hook, line, and sinker.
