Examples

  • Q: Is Ukraine losing now? A: It's about to. Analysis: The answer here is a stated no couched as a yes. 'it's about to (lose)' is an unwarranted conclusion based on unknown information, which would relegate this to the realm of bullshit, as defined in On Bullshit. Because cases for winning and cases for losing can be made, while the current case for winning is clear judging by war loss numbers. Thus, this article, from a critical perspective, could be classified as bullshit. SeeFiona Hill on Ukraine, Dec 2023
