Refutation

Filed under: General — m759 @ 1:15 pm

A post by David Justice today suggests a review —

A more literary approach to refutation —

“He is real,” said the boy, passionately. “He’s not a fool. He’s real.”

“Listen,” said his father. “When you go down the garden there’s nobody there. Is there?”

“No,” said the boy.

“Then you think of him, inside your head, and he comes.”

“No,” said Small Simon. “I have to make marks. On the ground. With my stick.”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“Yes, it does.”

— John Collier, “Thus I Refute Beelzy.”
