switch of argument


Explanation:
...mislim da jest:

The pro-lifer would then object -- entirely correctly -- that none of the above examples have the potential to grow into a person. Left alone, the zygote will naturally become a person. Please note that this is a switch of argument: the pro-life advocate is no longer claiming that genetic completeness is a sign of personhood, but that the potential to become a person is a sign of personhood.

Obzirom da se radi o uspoređivanju (traženju razlika i istosti) velikog broja osobina (redaka tablica) lako se zabuniti, npr. zamjena teza = pridati osobinu nečega nečem drugom zato što imaju neke osobine iste - pr. "Tko laže taj i krade i ubija" - kradljivost je česta i kod lopova i kod ubojica, ali to ne znači da lopovima treba suditi za moguće ubojstvo tj. lopova ne treba zamjeniti s ubojicom. Stoga smanjujemo broj osobina - pojednostavljujemo. Izabiremo najvažnije osobine, to jest tražimo bit (ono što određuje nešto, po čemu nešto jest to što jest). Bit se često utuvđuje u glavi bez širine znanja i povezivanja, npr. kod ideologije (religije, komunizam). Alibi lijenih i manipulatora je da pravo znanje opterećuje. Ali ono je jedino moguće.
