Does that mean if I set myself alight, I become a phoenix?

I find this post offensive because the word "logic" is in here.






What? You expected something else?

So, by setting anything on fire, it becomes a phoenix. Interesting.

Also, don't pin me down on this, but my experiences from ancient greek class tell me that the plural of phoenix is "phoenices" (or actually "phoinikes", but apparently everything has to be anglicised).

Ok.

I don't know why people say this is a "paradox" or a wrong argument. Apples are not phoenixes, so your statement is true and you are right.

This sentence is wrong.

@NiraExecuto Wrong. OP didn't say "If it is on fire, it MUST be a Phoenix" but "If it is a Phoenix, it MUST be on fire". Don't confuse the insect and the beetle.

A beetle is an insect and a fish is a russian rabbit.

Ignoring the nonsense, what I meant is a Hungarian idiom; all beetles are insects, but not all insects are beetles. That is, every Phoenix is on fire, but not everything on fire is a Phoenix.

I don't have anything stupid to say about that message. GG.

@Persecutor Of course. I was just generalizing what @awolfen said. I'm not the kind of person who'd confuse cause and effect. I mean, everything that's green is a pear, right? Or was it a Watermelon?
