In a memo: No employee can use a work computer for shopping, or video games, or social media posting on work related issues or political activity.

8. This could mean that no social media posting on political activity is allowed (on a work computer) and it could mean that no political activity is allowed at all (on a work computer). You were in the committee that worked on the language of that memo so you know that it means the latter. If Joe was using his office computer to compile an email list of political contributors (but not posting anything to social media) then he could justify his action by appealing to the other (incorrect) interpretation of the memo. His argument in justification of his activity would be:

a.

An equivocation

b.

An incoherent concept argument

c.A fallacy of uncharitable reconstruction

a.

d. A use/mention confusion ...

Which of the following arguments rests on a use/mention confusion?

		The US should intervene in foreign conflicts only when the impacts on US interests are significant. However, it is impossible to say with any specificity what significant impacts are. Since that means it isnt sensible to say that any conflict has a significant impact on US interests, the US should not intervene in any foreign conflicts.
		b. The weather is beautiful and it is a fine day for walking on the beach. But the fines here can be very high, so you probably shouldnt walk on the beach today unless you dont mind paying a fortune.
		c.If many historical authors arent overestimating their own importance, then the pen is mightier than the sword. But a pen is just an enclosure for containing animals and so is not mightier than a sword, which can kill animals. So, many historical authors are overestimating their own importance.
		d. The congresswoman gave a beautiful speech; what she said was just so moving. Since all she said was so moving, her speech was also incredibly short.
