- 12:0212:02, 2 June 2024 diff hist −217 Abductive reasoning This is a citation to Aristotle's work directly. This assertion needs a citation from a modern author who makes this connection. Also, "apagoge" is defined as "an indirect argument which serves to prove something by showing the contrary to be absurd or impossible." per Collins dictionary. Is this the same as abductive reasoning or just type of abductive reasoning? Perhaps this be addressed on the talk page. current Tag: Undo

- 02:1902:19, 26 May 2024 diff hist +143 Tar-Baby The lead is suppose to summarize the article. Details belong in the body. SeeMOS:LEADNOTUNIQUE. A discussion on how dictionaries present the word is a bit WP:OR and not really an improved presentation of the term. Also the OED website now leads with the racial slur definition and other meanings are buried behind a paywall. The racist meanings connected with the subject have become primary, so we need only mention that in the lead now.
