“Fallacious and misleading arguments are most easily detected if set out in correct syllogistic form”
Immanuel Kant
“The profession is designed to help the court by making sure that the best possible arguments - not misleading arguments, not arguments that stretch a point, not arguments that hide precedents - but that the best possible arguments are presented, ... That's the business we're in. It's very much like if you were a doctor. Do you only cure people who, when they're cured, will lead their lives as you were going to lead them?”
Charles Fried
“The State Department's memo is full of misleading and irrelevant arguments. It fails to make the case that the waiver is in the ?national security interest? of the U.S., as required by law. The waiver undeniably undermines efforts to promote justice for human rights crimes in East Timor and real reform in Indonesia.”
Karen Orenstein
“How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.”
Herbert Spencer
“I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.”
Leo Burnett
“Falsehood is never so successful as when she baits her hook with truth, and no opinions so fatally mislead us, as those that are not wholly wrong; as no watches so effectually deceive the wearer as those that are sometimes right”
Charles Caleb Colton
“One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'”
Ludwig Wittgenstein
