... but I do get to >reject< them as phablets....

Alan Baker
No, Fanboy. You don't.

-hh
As soon as 'Harry' used the word 'true' as a qualifier, the jig was up.

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
Why is that? "True" can carry the context of "primarily designed as" and doesn't have to always remain Anal's recently favorite $10 phrase "No true scotsman"

Alan Baker
You're sayint the Galaxy Note 8 is NOT primarily designed as a phablet?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOL

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
No, it's not, it may be labeled as such, but labels alone don't make it so.... It's screen size is too big....

Alan Baker
...according to?

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
*me* and *wikipedia*....

Alan Baker
No.

1. Wikipedia is not a single source.

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
so what?

So a crowd-sourced document is hardly authoritative, now is it?

Alan Baker
2. It says typically, which means there are exceptions.

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
didn't say there weren't exceptions.

Yes, actually, you did.

But there are other defining parameters which it doesn't meet either.

ANOTHER SHIFT!

Alan Baker
3. It explicitly lists one such exception.

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
Exactly, an *exception*, not the norm as with TRUE phablets.....

An exception to the RANGE, not an exception to it being a phablet.

And you're right back to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy!
