@User:Phlsph7: You seem to confuse color saturation with its brightness. "Pale color" means low color saturation, which (in colloquial language) implicates that something is ALSO relatively bright but not necessarily VERY bright. Try Google: "pale red". The results should make you think. I agree that "bright" is better as a contrast to "dark" but let's not twist the facts to fit the theory, if you like philosophy :-) |

Line 53:
Fallacies of ambiguity are perhaps best exemplified by the [[fallacy of equivocation]], in which the same term appears with two different meanings in the premises,<ref name="Engel3"/><ref name="Stump"/><ref name="Hansen"/><ref name="Walton"/> for example:
: Feathers are ''light''. ("light" as "not heavy")
: What is ''light'' cannot be dark. ("light" as "
: Therefore, feathers cannot be dark.
Equivocations are especially difficult to detect in cases where the two meanings are very closely related to each other.<ref name="Mackie"/>
