Doug,

A fallacy is a fallacious argument. You quoted a statement (or maybe two statements) not an argument, so whatever it is it is not a fallacy.

This cheap point aside, I take it that you disagree with the statement(s). 

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree! One problem with your two examples is that Weitz has neither the power nor the authority of OSHA and the government.

Best, Joe

Joe,



Your statement below seems to me to be a fallacy. If you use the same 
logic in the construction industry and OSHA came up to you would you 
comply? The government uses "blackmail-style" pressure all the time to 
make you change your habits.

Doug!



" for the simple reason that people do not respond well to 
blackmail-style pressure. "



"Tell me, if someone sued you in an effort to get you to do something, 
no matter how noble it was, would it increase or decrease your chance 
of doing it?"



Best, Joe
