[QUOTE]Originally posted by Apocalypse: [QB] The Explorer wrote [QUOTE]It is not surprising that you are also unable to understand other sentences put in straightforward English, as you've already shown your incredible incompetency in the language multiple times. Let me educate you on the context in which 'a priori' is being used: a : being without examination or analysis : **presumptive** b : formed or conceived beforehand - Merriam-Webster My constant use of "assumption" in tandem, which you very conveniently ignored, should have clued you in. That should now tell you what your remark about young Fulanis amount to, when I say it is nothing but an emotionally-driven a priori response to watu. This is and will be my position, regardless of how many times you come back to excuse yourself and how many cheerleaders come to give you emotional support. I'm beginning to think that you never completed high school English lessons. I suggest you get yourself a dictionary at the very least, if you cannot even do a simple google on words you don't understand.[/QUOTE]Oh, so you do know what a priori means. That puts things in a different light all together. I'd been hoping, for your sake, that you didn’t understand that single word: “a priori”. Had this been actually the case the rest of your screed could have been seen in a more favorable light. I’m afraid that now I have to pronounce the entirety of your series of responses an abortion! Take for example the reading of “a priori” as meaning “beforehand.” Well it’s more than a tad silly to go through all the trouble of invoking such a fine Latin word for such a basic idea. The word “probably” may be too “low brow” for you. However, if you understood what it meant then you’d know that it conveys uncertainty and is also predictive. Therefore to characterize the statement: “probably many Fulanis” as being a "beforehand assumption" is a tautology. It is already built into the meaning of probably! You're so high-browed however that one cannot reasonably hold you accountable for this little lapse in common sense. Next let’s deal with “a priori” as meaning without examination or analysis: presumptive. This stands in vivid contrast to another word you used to describe my claim: inference. Specifically you wrote: [QUOTE]an inference based on nothing but a priori assumption[/QUOTE]Let’s first define inference: Per thefreedictionary [QUOTE]The act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true[/QUOTE]Let’s substitute your words with their equivalents: “The act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true based upon nothing but lack of examination or analysis” Not too chock full of any real meaning is it Explorer? But again, that lofty brow of yours surveys more ethereal realms! Now let’s examine this. Explorer wrote: [QUOTE] Your logic towards implicating "Fulani youth" as necessarily and automatically Jay Z emulators is based on your a priori calculation[/QUOTE]Calculation per Merriam-Webster’s: studied care in analyzing or planning. Let’s go the sentence substitution exercise. Explorer’s statement boils down to this: “your logic is … based upon studied care in analyzing or planning without analysis or examination” I'm scratching my head at this one. However, I'm sure such a careless formulation is no doubt attributable to your greater erudition and your preoccupation with more abstract undertakings. Explorer, Your Loftiness, whenever I read your posts the word fatuous always comes to mind. I don't know why! [/QB][/QUOTE]
