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"

-hh
It can, but not when in the context of the 'No True Scotsman' fallacy.

circular argument.

Nope. Wrong again.

-hh
And your usage perfectly followed the fallacy as illustrated.

like hell it did...

It did precisely. In a nutshell:

"All phablets fit in pants pockets... ...except the Galaxy Note 8... ...but that's not a true phablet".

Harry Mudd the Anti-Fanboy
provide a cite where I >specifically< said ">ALL< phablets fit in pants pockets". I mean, generally phablets do, but i never quite said exactly that. NOTE: the 'generally' is just like you like to twist 'typically', and means there may be exceptions.

"Any phablets >designed< as such generally do fit in pockets however."

A few weasel word, but close enough.

The Galaxy Note 8 was designed as a phablet.
