Did you know that words such as
"Experts say" and "New studies show"
are now called "Weasel Words"?
It's about **** time, in my opinion.
They appeal to anonymous Authority;
making claims with the validating factor being that
"Experts say" or "A new study shows.."
Truly a symptom of the Times...:
Beware the power of Logical Fallacies in Social Psychology!!!
