It happens to you maybe every day, someone tries to persuade you to act or believe in something by saying, “For example….”. However, the example they use on you may not be an example at all but could just as easily be an exception to the rule which would not be valid and/or reliable information to back up their argument.
Their example of how they think things are or should be may be just a coincidence. A coincidence does not make for a strong argument like an example can persuasively demonstrate. How are you ever to decisively know if someone’s example used in an argument is really a strong, consistent example of what they are trying to convey or prove ‘or’ is it merely a weak, coincidental exception? Odds are you cannot know for sure. You can only ask yourself the question, “Does it make sense?” If you are not sure it may be best NOT to believe the person trying to persuade you because, generally, most folks too often do NOT know what they are talking about and just want you to buy into or believe in what they are saying.
Remember, in general, nobody really KNOWS, they just like to believe that they know, then try to convince you they know when, odds are, they do not know, they merely believe they know. For example, from the science perspective, we believe that God exists but we do not know absolutely positively for sure that God exists, this is why the subject is still debated between those in science and religion.
