In Mike's thread "Finally adding to my canon database", FuckStar said that Borg drones has selective KE shield, based on the premise that no projectiles have been fired at the Borg.
While the premise itself still debatable, I'd rather go for the logical validity of his claim as a whole instead.
"No projectiles have been fired at the drones" premise
Now, let's suppose, through some magical way, FuckStar's premise that no projectiles have been fired at the Borg is true. Question is: does it automatically translate that Borg drones has selective KE shield?
Does it mean that IF no projectiles have been fired at the drones, THEN it is because they are ineffective against them, due to selective KE shielding?
Of course not. Logic dictates that it is only one of many possibilities implied by the premise.
In order to justify his claim, FuckStar has to *prove* that they never shoot projectiles at drones BECAUSE projectiles are innefective due to selective KE shield, and not because anything else.
Absence of 20th century guns aboard E-E
Now, in order to justify his selection of possibility, that no projectiles have been fired at the Borg because they are ineffective, FuckStar pointed out the absence of replicated 20th century projectile weapons aboard the E-E in ST:FC. He said that such weapons ain't available because they are ineffective against the Borg, due to the selective KE shielding.
Does it mean that, IF no guns replicated aboard E-E during , THEN it is because they are ineffective against the drones, due to selective KE shielding?
Again, logic dictates it is only one of many possibilities implied.
In order to justify this particular possibility, that no guns are replicated BECAUSE they are ineffective against the drones because of selective KE shield, then FuckStar has to prove these following:
FuckStar has to *prove* that they are CAPABLE to replicate those guns at that time. It means that FuckStar has to *prove* that the all neccessary resources are available aboard, such as replicator pattern, required materials, required powers, required opportunity, as well as proving that the replicator is not DOWN at that time.
If FuckStar can prove the point above, does it simply means that projectiles are ineffective due to selective KE shield?
Of course not. It only means that The Feds decide not to replicate 20th century guns and distribute them to their crews.
Does it mean that, IF the Feds decide not to replicate 20th century guns, THEN it is because they are ineffective against the drones, due to selective KE shielding?
Again, logic dictates it is only one of many possibilities implied.
FuckStar has to *prove* that they decide not to replicate 20th century guns is because they are ineffective against the Borg, and not due to other reason.
Ergo, he has to justify the reason why he choose the possibility that "they decide not to replicate those guns because of they are ineffective against the Borg", over other possibilities.
Absence Federation Experimental Projectile Weapons/b]
Now, in order to justify his selection of possibility, no projectiles have been fired at the drones because they are ineffective against them, FuckStar pointed out the absence of Feds experimental weapon among Feds personnel. He said that such weapons ain't available because they are ineffective against the Borg, due to the selective KE shielding.
Does it mean that, IF the weapon ain't commonly used, THEN it is [b]because they are ineffective against the drones, due to selective KE shielding?
Again, logic dictates it is only one of many possibilities implied.
FuckStar has to *prove* that the experimental weapons are not commonly used, is because they are ineffective against the Borg, and not due to other reasons.
And in order to prove it, FuckStar still has to consider many other possibilities such as:
-. They are still in experimental stage, and not ready for mass-production (or replication, if FuckStar prefers it that way)
-. They are still in experimental stage, and has yet to pass operational testing
-. They are still in experimental stage, so Starfleet DECIDED not to make the replicator pattern commonly available
-. The weapons are actually based on good concept, but proved to be unreliable after field testing
"Why do I have to prove it? It is conjecture, you dipshit!"
Common FuckStar defense. It's conjecture, so he doesn't have to prove it. In fact, he ***admitted*** that his premises cannot prove that Borg drones have KE shielding.
The question is; why should he prove it? Why can't he use assumption and excuses instead?
Why? Well, if he claimed that IT IS POSSIBLE THAT BORG DRONES HAVE SELECTIVE KE SHIELDING, ASSUMMING THAT <blah-blah> AND <blah-blah> AND <blah-blah>, then his argument may be fair enough. And maybe no need to flame him.
But did he? No. He claimed that
No projectiles have been fired at the drones, so it means that they have selective KE shielding
is more reasonable than the common
We have seen onscreen that KE attacks like claws and Bathleth are effective against the drones, so they don't have KE shield
See, so FUCKSTAR HAS TO PROVE THAT HIS CONJECTURE IS THE ONE WHICH MORE REASONABLE.
Occam's Razor will cut FuckStar's cock
FuckStar claimed that his conjecture is more reasonable than the more common conjecture about borg drones KE shielding (or the lack of it).
But guess what? When we use Occam's Razor to compare both theories, wich one will fall???
with so many weak spots on FuckStar's conjecture, how can he ever said that his are more reasonable?????
