One more lesson for my dull brother



芦笛



Brother Horse, yesterday I forgot to teach you the most important bit:



If you want to use "either A or B", the conditions must be



1) that A and B are exclusive to each other; and

2) that A and B are the only two options under the circumstance. In other words, they must exhaust all the possibility. So, in general, B=non-A, and "either A or B" actually equals "either A or non-A".



If you understand this simplest principle, then you would not have made that folly yesterday. Actually, I made a typical example for you when I was squeezing Gumi's qicun.



As you might still remember (which I doubt very much as I find so many times that you are just like a brainless baby, remembering absolutely nothing), at that time, I pointed out that by asking to be your lawyer and promising to make Zheng apologize to you, Gumi had implied that he considered Zheng Yi guilty. Thus, either he knew the truth that Zheng was wrong, or he did not know the truth but arbitrarily assumed Zheng was wrong and slandered him publicly.



This is a brilliant example you should have followed as the two options in the statement that "either he knew or he did not know" are not only exclusive to each other, but also include all the possibilities. In contrast, the question I put forth to Zheng Yi is NOT a logical equivalent to this at all.



Now let's look at your blunder. You asked me to pick up one from the following two options:



1) Suspects innocent, law enforcement illegal; or

2) Suspects guilty, law enforcement legal.



How could you be so stupid as to ask me this kind of stupid question? These two are NOT all the options available, as they do NOT exhaust all the possibilities. How could you fail to see the following two combinations:



3) Suspects innocent, law enforcement legal;

4) Suspects guilty, law enforcement illegal.



You are really, hopelessly thick, Brother. I put my hand on my chest and swear to God solemnly: if you are not the thickest guy I have met on the web, you are certainly outstandingly, extraordinarily and superbly thick!



For your comfort, please note that I used the word "thick" instead of "idiotic", which is reserved for some VIPs.



Brother, in view of the fact that you have broken your words so many times after I had made the verdict, I now decide to punish you for your defiance on Judge Reed. From now on, as soon as you put up a poster, I will make my remarks and show all the follies in there to the public, until you really have had enough and beg me to stop.



People might ask me: "How do you know he would make follies in every article? What if he wrote one piece free of mistakes?"



My answer is: "Don't worry. I have known my brother for more than 4 years by now. It is simply beyond his ability to write an article without making at least one folly."



So it seems to be your personal misfortune that we both stay in the same forum. As a matter of fact, you survive and prosper as a "writer" only at my mercy. Any moment I feel like it, I can easily squeeze your thin neck and strangle you to death.



Even so, I know you will not flee to some other place. This is only because you need me as the inexhaustible source of inspiration. For this, all my ruthless whippings are worthwhile.



Brother, I feel sad for you, really and truly.
