Is there an example of an undistributed middle fallacy that doesn't result in affirming the consequent? kostmo 01:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Erasmus Montanus

In the comedy Erasmus Montanus by Norwegian/Danish playwright Ludvig Holberg, the farmer's son Erasmus visits his parent's farm while studying Latin and stuff at the university. To his mother: A stone cannot fly. Little mother cannot fly. Ergo, little mother is a stone. His mother, unhappy with the outcome, starts to cry. - To me (as a Dane), this is the obvious example of the fallacy. If someone not Danish likes it too, please add it to the article...--Niels Ø 20:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Examples

Does the example mentioning Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold seem verbose and even disconnected to anyone else? Further, isn't there a name other than "John Doe" that more appropriately fits there? 64.90.198.6 00:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
