Is this leading to a confession Fez?

And here it is again, there is a word that describes this type of logical sequence. It literally means two 'facts' that lead to a logical conclusion, however, the two 'fact' need not be true. Ie All elephants are pink, nelly is an elephant therefore nelly is pink. Logical but wrong. Johnriley1uk I task you with finding the damned word in Master and Margarita and putting me out of my MISERY! It is driving me NUTS! :-0

The world is very goonish, you just need to be receptive to it. There are just too many people being incredibly serious and intense about irrelevant things.

Mike, I will let you have the word as soon as I find it! OMG, let's hope I don't miss it...
