fallacy (and/or illogical argument) n.: choplogic
Anything that makes Quebec’s separatists so mad can’t be all bad. So, yes, partition does have something to be said for it. They have had it all their own way far too long. Now, their lies about painless secession are being challenged. The puck has been shot into their end for a change, and the separatists falling fanciful are getting tangled in their own choplogic. Good. (Norman Webster, “If Quebec Is Divisible So Is Federalism,” Maclean’s, 3/11/1996, p. 64.
