Begging the question is an actual concept with an actual definition, and I hardly ever see it used correctly. beg the question phrase of beg 1. (of a fact or action) raise a point that has not been dealt with; invite an obvious question. "some definitions of mental illness beg the question of what constitutes normal behaviour" 2. assume the truth of an argument or proposition to be proved, without arguing it. Looks right to me? --- Scloud posted... Its like he wants two things at the same time. <cite>Kyuubi4269 posted [p:908601646] in California...
