Interesting Concepts

There are a lot of interesting concepts in the book. One of the interesting concepts I found in the book is loaded questions. The loaded questions are used a lot in our society. This kind of question are usually used to misguided the claim or as an accusation. The question may be asked in the way to confuse people by making it sound like a claim. For example, why are you always hungry? This make it sound like the person is always eating. He or she might not be hungry but rather, the person may just like to snack through out the day. The question can also be an accusation. For example, do you have to wait until people around you die of lung cancer before you stop smoking? This may seem like a reasonable statement but it is really not. The true is that lung cancer can be from other causes as well.
