Can anyone provide a good source for "implied dilemma?" I have not found anything authoritative so far despite pretty intensive searching, though I have found several websites that seem to cut and paste from this one! Part of the reason I feel a source is needed is that the current wording does not make all that much sense and is confusing. Legitimus ( talk) 20:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
I am moving the (unrefed) content of the para on implied dillema here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:07, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Implied Dilemma (not a fallacy): A form of “trick question” which forces a negative response and validates a dilemma, whereas the positive response has an invariant outcome in the created dilemma. For example, if a boss asks an employee, “Do you have a future here?”, even if the recipient answers with a positive response, the outcome of the positive response was never in the recipient's control to begin with; this form of questioning is often used for smugness over the recipient or to speed results in interrogations.
Can someone please add something to the Mark Crispin quote in the final section to provide some context? Coming in as a causal reader I have no idea how this fits into the article. If not perhaps it should be deleted.-- SabreBD ( talk) 08:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Numerous online sources (e.g. The Fallacy Files) suggest that loaded question and complex question are the same fallacy. Yet, Wikipedia has separate articles for each. I recommend that the articles either be merged or be edited to explain how they are different from each other. -- JHP ( talk) 06:44, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
I want to propose this page gets a banner saying it needs editing for clarity. In particular, I think the 2nd paragraph uses abstruse, convoluted phrasing to make its points. It is too dense, and could do with fleshing out in plain English.
I don't understand the notation for wiki editing, nor do I intend to start making changes without first having some feedback about what to change. So I'm just flagging up my concerns. 92.236.151.64 ( talk) 05:16, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Actually if one were to reply "no" it could imply that wife beating never started (i.e. Question: "Have you stopped beating your wife?" ... Answer: "No. Because I never started") — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.77.50.194 ( talk) 19:26, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
