Very true :) How do you suggest that one determine the difference?
Spent a lot of time trying to explain this comment to my young cousins reading your blog - difficult when they couldn't understand the concept of a fallacy (and confused it with a paradox, and multiple other things that I don't remember). It was fun though, and I wish you had been there to help me explain. I was able to define the terms, but had trouble thinking of examples.
