My Freshman Year in High School, my English teacher, Mr Patnode illustrated the logical fallacies that he didn’t want to see in our essays, by reading us Max Schulman’s short story, "Love is a Fallacy." B will be starting Logical Fallacies this year with the Fallacy Detective, and I wanted to introduce it with the short story.
I had forgotten the title and author, but remembered the punch line, "He has a raccoon skin coat." so DH coached me on google, and I searched on that line. A web site came up called Loganberry Books: Solved Mysteries, where people write in and ask for help in finding stories they read as kids, but can’t find now. They mentioned that "Love is a Fallacy" was available on the web, and I found it!
I wonder if the other questioner was also in Mr Patnode’s class?
