Flat Earth Society President: It is an accepted philosophical aphorism that all truth passes through three stages: first, it is mocked; second, it is opposed and condemned; third, it is accepted as self-evident. The central claims of my flat earth society were first mocked and now face ferocious opposition, so it is plain enough that they will shortly be accepted as self-evident.
Which of the following best describes the error in the president’s reasoning?
(A) The evidence presented for the president’s conclusion is irrelevant to that conclusion.
(B) The president generalizes from an atypical case.
(C) The phenomenon introduced by the president in support of his principal contention is not a phenomenon covered by the aphorism supplied.
(D) The president mistakes a condition necessary to obtain a result for a condition sufficient to obtain that result.
(E) The president exploits two meaning of the word “truth.”
