Dumb Arguments and Arbitrary Elements

Elica Le Bon v. Her Reflection

There are a lot of ways to make a weak argument. One of the most common is to base your argument on some arbitrary selection–the endpoints of your graph, or a significant event.

Elica Le Bon made this mistake a couple of months ago, and I was trying to figure out how to talk about it, when the horrible hand of history decided to give me an even more awful example.
