I'm not sure what this is about.

Most people could do so much better if they simply operated at a very low
logical level. I mean, life does not require you be a WFF n PROOF master;
if people would just avoid the logical fallacies they would be a whole
lot better off.

I love "WFF n Proof"

http://wffnproof.com/

The WFFnProof group has lots of other great games, too. I played
configurations for endless hours as a child, as well as Equations.
"Propaganda" was fun when the game was new, but I memorized all the
cards.

I think I'm quite rusty now at WFF n Proof. I think I'll get the game off
the bookshelf and check it out again.
