ulto Ch. Logical High-fliers §.2. Exposure

1

9 or 1 Exposure. Proved, by the use of the fallacy, whether laudative or vituperative, the user deceived or a deceiver or both.

The particular object arrangement good, to the universal interest no service by observance approbation for bad ones along with it no service is done to the universal interest: but to the particular interests served by the bad ones, much service is thus done: because by this means approbation may be obtained for arrangements too bad to be defended under their own names.

§.2. Exposure

Of a man's being deceived, or of an endeavour on his part to deceive others, or of both these facts together, there can scarcely be a plainer a more conclusive proof piece of evidence than what is afforded by the use of this fallacy, by the use of it in either of the above words shapes — the laudative or the vituperative

If the individual object or species of objects in question is good, there can be no good use in any bestowing laud upon any genus within which it is contained, if so it be that in that genus are contained what is bad as well bad and good together as what is good: and such it will be seen is the case in all each one of the above seven instances..

But, for the purpose of obtaining for what in each such genus is bad that approbation and attachment which by the supposition is unmerited, and the bestowing entertainment of which is accordingly an act state of things prejudicial to the universal interest, that same indiscriminate undiscriminating laudation is not only in every case a c only unquestionably serviceable conducive, but almost in many cases the only one which is so. [In so far then as this mischievous property of this instrument in question fails of being perceived by him by whom it is thus employed, he is himself deceived a himself under deception: in so far as it is perceived by him, his endeavour he possesses the consciousness that of the course he is taking the endeavour is to deceive others.

10 or 2 In so far as this effect of serving as a cloak for bad arrangements as facts of being perceived by the builder utterer of the laudation or vituperation, he acts under deception otherwise he is a self -conscious deceiver.
