botias | The Logic of Spuffy

I read my Spuffy pet peeve again the other day.

Dawn: "Not all humans are good, some are ebol like Hitler, so a soul must not matter."

Buffy: "Golly Dawn, I never thought of it that way before."

Dawn: "Buffy, where are you going? We were going to stroke one another's hair tonight."

Buffy: "I gotta go. I'd better snaffle Spike before some other smart girl does!"

Dawn: "Yay!!!11!!kittenyay!"

Mr. Spock would despair for the human race (again) if he read this stuff. The logic is very bad. Let's plug other things into the same argument and see what happens shall we?

"Not all boats float, so a cinder block would probably do the job just as well."

"Some explorers get lost even with a compass, so I guess it's OK that I've set off for the Pole without one."

"Some couples get pregnant even though they used protection. Why bother?"

"Some cars just won't go even though they have wheels. Wheels must not be important. Tomorrow I think I'll drive my storm shelter to work."

ETA: I would have thought up more, but I had to get back to work on my Season 2 crack!fic where ebol unchipped Spike and innocent inexperienced Buffy get it on. Alas, I am not joking. Watch this space, if it pleases.
