In the one-hundred-and-ninety-fourth episode, we look at the Appeal to Definition, starting with Trump relying on specific definitions of MAGA and 86. In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Boris Johnson and Theresa May relying on specific definitions . In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Taskmaster, Autechre, and Bill Clinton's deposition.
