  1. About to watch my father attempt a fix on the innards of his PS3 with a heat gun. This is a man who uses Internet Explorer as his primary browser.

    2. @thelastgherkin attempting to corellate browser preference with maintenance skills is a common argument fallacy

      1. @publictimeline It does establish a previous history of poor judgment though.

        1. @colfax only through implication in the initial claim, using ethos to compel intended listeners to agree (humor through exaggeration and humor, knowing we all have our biases towards IE). It's also devoid of context; I know plenty of smart kids who make the mistake of using linux and that shouldn't be held against them if they claim they can fix a car. [as a disclaimer, I'm just saying all this junk because I'm bored; in actuality, I'm fearing for the ps3's life]
