secretGeek.net3 Types of Argument
Engineering Argument:
There are two ways to implement something. Neither option is perfect -- both have their own compromises, which are known and measurable. Argument centres on which compromises are most acceptable.
Example: should the bike-shed be made from wood or brick?
Artistic Argument:
There are two ways to implement something. Both are functionally correct, but have unquantifiable differences. Argument centres on intuition and opinion.
Example: should we paint the bike-shed topaz or cyan?
Religious Argument:
There are two conflicting points of view. Both are utterly wrong. Argument has no centroid and no limiting factors.
Example: should the bike-shed be built to honour the green walrus or the almighty unicorn?
