Special Pleading
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Applying a standard to others while exempting oneself, without relevant grounds for the exemption.
Show
"Merging late is reckless — though when I do it, it's efficient."
Watch for
Near-miss: relevant differences justify different treatment; that's not pleading, that's the rule's own logic. The fallacy is the exemption without the difference.
