I have just tried to refute another "Edward is hot" type fallacy. I've had enough, I'm ready to puke - pardon the language - in link if I see another one. In the foreseeable future, I shall either not bother with such fallacies but instead ignore and ridicule または point to this article. This applies to both sides because some Twilight ファン and some new Harry Potter ファン here are frequently inferring it.

I point to my 前 article: link for the introduction.
I shall here only point out Number Six:
Non sequitur.
What is a Non Sequitur and a fallacy: I shall again refer to オックスフォード English Dictionary because some just does not get it:

non sequitur(non sequi|tur)
Pronunciation:/nɒn ˈsɛkwɪtə/
noun
a conclusion または statement that does not logically follow from the 前 argument または statement
Origin:
Latin, literally 'it does not follow'
link

fallacy(fal|lacy)
Pronunciation:/ˈfaləsi/
noun (plural fallacies)
a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound arguments:
the notion that the camera never lies is a fallacy

Logic a failure in reasoning which renders an argument invalid

[mass noun] faulty reasoning:
the potential for fallacy which lies behind the notion of self-esteem

Origin:
late 15th century (in the sense ‘deception, guile’; gradually superseding Middle English fallace): from Latin fallacia, from fallax, fallac- 'deceiving', from fallere 'deceive'

link

Analysis:
Edward (substitute character for taste) is hot, therefore the series he/she's belonging in has quality.

Reasonably now, these two link are not related to one another; therefore one cannot use one to prove the other. It would be like me trying to prove the existence of the Andromeda Galaxy によって saying that it snows, for an extreme example. For a simpler example I quote Wikipedia:

"The term [Non sequitur] is often used in everyday speech and reasoning to describe a statement in which premise and conclusion are totally unrelated but which is used as if they were.
An example might be: "If I buy this cell phone, all people will 愛 me." However, there is no actual relation between buying a cell phone and the 愛 of all people." - link

Do あなた see the unreasonable argment yet? If not... in plain English:
The Edward Fallacy is
Incorrectly assuming that one thing is the cause of another.
Assuming that part of the examined series is representative for the entire series.
And ad nauseam, it has been so repeated as the holy truth that people give up on it and it wins によって fiat.

Summa Summarum: I've had enough. If あなた use it one もっと見る time I shall force あなた to digest this 記事 under pain of torture または detention, whichever that will amuse me.
