It is an argument that seems logically sound but really isn't. It is a form of circular reasoning because we have no objective definition of Targaryen to begin with. What is a Targaryen, at maximum it is all the descendants of Aenar Targaryen, but he lived a long time ago which means a lot of people are Targaryens based on that definition. You cannot really make logical inferences based upon a premise which is arbitrary. Here we are trying to prove that someone belongs to an arbitrary group but without defining the group, all we are doing is defining the first premise with it's conclusion (circular reasoning). |
