Gut' Undistributed Ivliddleu The Undistributed Middle , as your college addict will tell you, is the simplest of all fallacies. tlncluding the blonde fallacy.l Your own observa- tion will remind you it is the most dangerous-and most universally disregard- ed--of all the mental banana peels. Murders and lawsuits, not to mention wasted millions, result from ignoring it. Take the Undistributed Middle in its simplest form: Cows are animals. This is a cow. Therefore, this is an animal. That is correct. Now, misapplying the geometric axiom that two things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, try it backwards: Cows are animals. This is an animal. Therefore, it is a cow. Your animal, of course, may not be a cow. It may be a wooly lamb. Or a blood-sweating behemoth. Somewhere, sometime, the primal eldest mathematician made a mis- take and ever since gens have been patching it up although nobody has yet discovered exactly what it was. That's my slogan. On that rock was mathe- matics built. The mathematicians, on being assured that they are going ahead correctly, simply smile. THEY KNOW. Betz's Algebra For Today tSecond Coursel actually is embarrassed about the whole thing and in a series of Historical Notes confesses any number of startling things that a callous algebra or arithmetic book would never own up to. Read this: . . . for a long time the idea of a fraction caused much trouble, even among intelligent people like the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Greeks, and the Romans. Now try this other syllogism in its popular form: . . . for a long time imaginary numbers were viewed with suspicion even by the greatest mathematicians. tNow, I ask you, if that isn't a complete give-away . . . l Ridiculously enough, the whole structure of our present mathematics sys- tem is built to an astounding degree on one variation or another of this fallacy. Dogmatic credos pay. Everybody concedes that. But dogmatic mathematicians, presumably, are a smaller circle than all mathematicians. Therefore, when you obtain a blanket endorsement of mathe- matics by stretching a small circle to include the large circle, you not only shock the college addict taking logic, but offend the sensibilities of your- self, which knows full well that cats and dogs are not cows. CI hope this is all perfectly clear because I haven't the time to explain it.l The enemies of arithmetic must be vastly entertained to see its leaders at each others' throats about negligible refinements of origin, while airily unin- terested in the vital essentials of mathematics itself or, themselves.
