Almost every day a story like this one is printed in some Newspaper or other, taking a whack at Astrology. This is an opinion piece and it’s very funny. Apparently in New Zealand people take their Horoscope literally.

But what is most amazing is that this guy claims there are no differences between all the statistical kinds of people he lists in the article. This is literally impossible. There may be no difference to someone who has no idea how to read an Astrology chart. But to someone who DOES know how, the fact is obvious: just like fingerprints, it’s impossible to have 2 charts that are the same - unless they are for people born at the exact same moment in time, at the exact same location. I am stating the obvious here, but this is literally physically impossible.

This is like someone who has no knowledge of medicine claiming that a cardiologist is no different than an orthodontist simply because they are both men!

This is a kind of logic that is taught in debate classes where students are taught not to argue a case on it’s actual merits, but to argue something completely unrelated. This strategy is used because the case CAN’T BE WON ON IT’S MERITS. It is the exact strategy that slimy lawyers use in rape cases when they argue that the bruised and bleeding girl couldn’t have been raped because of what she was wearing.
