`` The argument that is cutting most ice is that Hearst is the only candidate who is fighting the trusts fearlessly and who would use all the powers of government to disrupt them if he were elected.

My argument is that there was no Saxon Shore prior to that time even though the forts had been in existence since the time of Carausius.

What was missing in the Governor's argument, as in so many similar arguments, was a premise which would enable one to make the ethical leap from what might be militarily desirable to what is right.

Sir Robert Watson-Watt's `` rebuttal '' of Sir Charles Snow's Godkin Lectures is marred throughout by too forceful a desire to defend Lindemann and apparently himself from Sir Charles' supposed falsehoods while stating those `` falsehoods '' in an unclear incoherent argument.

The argument against this last approach is comparable to that which rejects stories about hoop snakes, about snakes that break themselves into many pieces and join up again, or even of ghosts that chase people out of graveyards ; ;

For it is clear that the total number of ordinary intersections of C and Af must be even ( otherwise, starting in the interior of C, Af could not finally return to the interior ), and the center of rotation at T is the argument of the function, not a value.

Therefore, for any value of T the number of values of f{t} is equal to the ( finite ) number of tangent points corresponding to the argument T plus an odd number.

The Mathematical Appendix presents the rigorous argument, but is best read after Part 1, in order that the assumptions underlying the equations may be explicit.

There is nonetheless considerable argument against the clause, softened though it be, on the grounds that Federal aid is so necessary to the public schools.

The first argument is thus an ideal experiment in which we use the method of difference.

I come now to a third argument, which again is very simple.

Obviously, a satisfactory answer to the third question is imperative, if the argument is to get under way at all, for if there is any possibility of doubt whether the patient's tactual sensitivity had been impaired by the occipital lesion, any findings whatsoever in regard to the first question become completely ambiguous and fail altogether, of course, as evidence to establish the desired conclusion.

If the argument is accepted as essentially sound up to this point, it remains for us to consider whether the patient's difficulties in orienting himself spatially and in locating objects in space with the sense of touch can be explained by his defective visual condition.

Yet, if the argument is turned awry, there may be found a great deal in Bryan's view, after all.

More often, though, he is so accustomed to submitting to authority on the job without argument that he lives by the same rule at home.

This is the only valid, and extenuating, argument that may be advanced in defense of the reprehensible attitude of the common wine waiter.

`` The trouble, '' explained Loy Henderson, then Deputy Undersecretary for Administration, `` is that when we get into an argument with him about this thing, it always turns out that Rooney knows more about our budget than we do ''.

Therefore, c divides the initial remainder r < sub > 0 </ sub >, since r < sub > 0 </ sub > = a − q < sub > 0 </ sub > b = mc − q < sub > 0 </ sub > nc = ( m − q < sub > 0 </ sub > n ) c. An analogous argument shows that c also divides the subsequent remainders r < sub > 1 </ sub >, r < sub > 2 </ sub >, etc.

Available data suggest that these gains have been accompanied by analogous increases of head size, and by an increase in the average size of the brain .< ref > This argument had been thought to suffer the difficulty that groups who tend to be of smaller overall body size ( e. g. women, or people of Asian ancestry ) do not have lower average IQs.

In terms of the nature versus nurture debate, biological determinism is approximately analogous to the " nature " argument, and social determinism is similar to the " nurture " view-point.

The historical parallels in the succession of Richard II may not have been intended as political comment on the contemporary situation, with the weak Richard II analogous to Queen Elizabeth and an implicit argument in favour of her replacement by a monarch capable of creating a stable dynasty, but lawyers investigating John Hayward's historical work, The First Part of the Life and Raigne of King Henrie IV, a book partly derived from Shakespeare's Richard II, chose to make this connection.

The correct interpretation is that the risk free rate could be either positive or negative and in practice the sign of the expected risk free rate is an institutional convention-this is analogous to the argument that Tobin makes on page 17 of his book, Money, Credit and Capital.

An analogous statement is true for X over a noetherian ring by the same argument.

The analogous argument for the generalized momenta P < sub > m </ sub > leads to two other sets of equations

This responsible-party argument is analogous to that used for operation of a motor vehicle, where a responsible driver is present, in contrast to remote or automated operation of a motor vehicle.

The basic philosophical argument employed by proponents of perpetual copyright presupposes that intellectual property ownership rights are analogous to other property rights such as those associated with material goods.

Six years later, Robert Bork reiterated and expanded upon Telser's argument, contending that resale price maintenance was simply one form of contractual integration, analogous to complete vertical integration, that could overcome a failure in the market for distributional services.

Thus, analogous to the broader nativist / empiricist argument, it is apparent that rather than a dichotomy, there exists a continuum, such that the integration and differentiation hypotheses are extremes at either end.

The value of g < sub > L </ sub > is exactly equal to one, by a quantum-mechanical argument analogous to the derivation of the classical gyromagnetic ratio.

This critique is analogous to the critique of Anselm's ontological argument by Gaunilo: " Just because I can imagine a perfect island does not mean that it actually exists.

This is a key argument in the debate opposing microkernel proponents and monolithic kernel aficionados.

To Cohen, the idea is that humans debate like lawyers: they often commit to one side of an argument and converse until the truth is discovered.

Extreme positions, e. g. Bill Joy's argument for relenquishment of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence, are considered a legitimate part of the debate, but have yet to achieve any serious political support, even among Green Parties.

For instance, in intellectual debate the underlying metaphor is usually that argument is war ( later revised as " argument is struggle "):

* The Martin-Frame Debate A written debate between skeptic Michael Martin and Christian John Frame about the transcendental argument for the existence of God.

Dialectics is different from debate, wherein the debaters are committed to their points of view, and mean to win the debate, either by persuading the opponent, proving their argument correct, or proving the opponent's argument incorrect – thus, either a judge or a jury must decide who wins the debate.
