Zeus_LLC 09/23/20 2:03:46 AM #4:	I think when they refer to the castle, they call it a motte and bailey castle rather than just a Motte and Bailey. However, that's my first and only association with the term. Apparently there's also a Motte and Bailey logical fallacy.

However, that's my first and only association with the term. Apparently there's also a Motte and Bailey logical fallacy. I'm unfamiliar with the food or drink. "An arguer conflates two positions which share similarities, one modest and easy to defend (the "motte") and one much more controversial (the "bailey"). The arguer advances the controversial position, but when challenged, they insist that they are only advancing the more modest position. Upon retreating to the motte, the arguer can claim that the bailey has not been refuted (because the critic refused to attack the motte) or that the critic is unreasonable (by equating an attack on the bailey with an attack on the motte)." --- 96065 <cite>ZeldaMutant posted [p:944973210] in Do you kno...

ParanoidObsessive 09/24/20 8:52:27 PM #15:	Zeus_LLC posted... Is this really PO? =x I assumed you'd have expert-level knowledge about castles. For all my RPG nerd cred and pride in being a sort of modern Renaissance Man, I've always admitted there are plenty of things I don't know about. I usually don't go into or comment in topics about stuff I'm not all that familiar with though, so I acknowledge I can easily come across as a know-it-all. For castles, about the only thing I know is that the fiddly bits at top are called crenelations (as mentioned in a recent topic!), and the incredibly esoteric fact that most spiral staircases in Europe tend to go counter-clockwise upwards (which I mostly just use to figure out how to build staircases in Minecraft), because it forces attackers trying to storm a tower to keep their sword-arm towards the central column, which makes it harder for them to fight against defenders above. Oh, and I know about a little bit Mad King Ludwig's castles because my family (well, part of it) actually comes from Bavaria, so it kind of feels like I'm obligated to know about them. Otherwise, it's not really a subject that's ever really interested me all that much, so I never really looked into it. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:945045994] in Do you kno...
