    From James Nicoll@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 8 19:11:16 2025
    I swung by a local used bookstore to pick up a book I ordered, which
    meant I was in the right place at the right time hear the confused
    customer next to me ask "What's speculative fiction?" Which, after
    I explained what it meant, was followed by the question. "Do you
    know anything about Andre Norton?"

    It was only with great effort that I resisted shouting "BEHOLD! I
    _AM_Marshall McLuhan" before helping.

    |You mean my whole fallacy is wrong.
    |How you ever got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing.

    I wonder how many fallacies are right?
