Re: Fleet vs. Squadron
In Response To: Re: Fleet vs. Squadron ()

I don't make things up. I gave you definitions from three references for the difference between a fleet and a squadron.

You might want to take note of the following:

From Historians’ Fallacies: Toward a Logic of Historical Thought by David Hackett Fischer, 290-291:

‘The fallacy of argument ad hominem occurs in many different forms, all of which serve to shift attention from the argument to the arguer. Among its more common varieties are, first, the abusive ad hominem, which directly denounces an opponent. The classic example, perhaps apocryphal, is the note passed from one desperate lawyer to another: ‘No case, abuse plaintiff’s attorney.’
