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

Why is that? "True" can carry the context of "primarily designed as"

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

circular argument.

Nope. Wrong again.

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".

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."

I did say 'generally' meaning there may be exceptions, kinda like the way you like to twist 'typically'.

And the you engaged in the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

"And the you"? What kind of Canuck syntax is that?

Apple Fan Not
A few weasel word, but close enough.

"A few weasel word"? A "Few"(meaning more than one) is contradicted by the singular "Weasle word". You really are syntactically challenged aren't you?

The Galaxy Note 8 was designed as a phablet.

No reply?

You were supposed to supply some other criteria besides screen size that it didn't meet, but you punked out on that, too.
