Story Post: TABLOID HEADLINE: It’s a meta-tabloid!
In this TABLOID HEADLINE, Purplebeard asserts that Josh’s statements are contradictory:
... the Commitments don’t need to be false or even mutually exclusive, just contradictory.
BUT in a comment on this CFJ Purplebeard agrees that they are perfectly compatable:
The statements themselves are in direct opposition, even though their contextual meanings and in-game interpretations are perfectly compatible.
WHICH IS IT?
Purplebeard:
The entire point I was making is that two contradictory statements may still be compatible when taken into context, so I obviously don’t think I contradicted myself there.
If I were to say that x is equal to 5 and then later say that x equals 3, those two statements would obviously contradict each other.* However, they may both still be true (for example, x is quorum and four people went idle in the interim).
* Yes, I realise that I’m probably opening myself up to another one of these here.
