Alan BakerAnd that is excluding a specific case just how again... *exactly*? Or creating an unecessary requirement by adding "true" or "real"?

'duh, ooooh geeeee! no true sotsman fall-uh-seeee....duh, oi geeeeee!"
What 'fallacy' did I assert or "exclude a specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule", or create an implied tautology, or create an unnecessary requirement by adding true or real to the subject?
duh. Oi geeee!<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman>
What counterexample? ipad mini? Sorry, but the fundamental question is whether it's a phablet to begin with. It isn't so it's an invalid example. Therefore it isn't a "true phablet" either, because it wasn't designed as such. You've still failed to point out any fallacy, also.
"Yeah, I suppose if you're going to try stuffing an ipad mini or a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in a pocket, you'd have difficulty, but then those aren't true 'phablets."
"Samsung Galaxy Note 8" "[isn't a] true 'phablets'".And it isn't.... just as an ipad mini isn't a cb radio, 8 track player, or even a CD player even though it can perform similar fuctions to all those devices.
