Uhhmmm........yes, I do. Do you?
FALLACY:
1. a deceptive, misleading, or false notion, belief, etc.: That the world is flat was at one time a popular fallacy.
2. a misleading or unsound argument.
3. deceptive, misleading, or false nature; erroneousness.
4. Logic. any of various types of erroneous reasoning that render arguments logically unsound.
And the context in which the word was used is correct. The belief that a car can't be a sprtscar because its FWD is a FALLACY. The rationale quoted by most to support this FALLACY is torque steer, handling, blah, blah, blah. So, to disprove this FALLACY I asked people to come along on an imaginary journey (imaginary journeys, by the way, are NOT fallacies).
Imagine a FWD car created that eliminated all these arguements that support the above stated FALLACY. So, if such a car existed, would it be a sportscar? It has none of the "problems" associated with FWD.
Sportscar?????
What if it had eliminated 99% of those problems?
Sportscar????
95%???
Sportscar???
What's the dividing line?
Pick it then go drive the Elan.
Sportscar!!!!
