2 Logical cloud-climbers or Logical high-flyers
Political Aëronauts or Air-born skirmisher's device.

2. Lumping classifiers device. The contrivance here consists
in the giving to the particular object in question a denomination
common to that and to another or others possessed of an opposite
or otherwise different quality: to an lumping thus an object of neutral character
with an object of bad good or an object of
good bad character: to an object of good character with an object of
neutral or an object of bad character: an object of bad character
with an object of neutral or good character.

Thus Take for example the word influence Election bribery
and Election terrorism. The man of fallacy gives them the name of influence.
That they are modes of exercising influence can not be denied: nor
can it be denied that in cases of Election influence may with propriety
and utility and propriety be endeavoured to be exercised: namely
that influence which leaving the will free and unoperated
upon, applies itself only to the understanding alone.

the use of this fallacy
