19:16:46 JasonR: And it's tautological
19:17:03 JoseR: What?
19:17:04 dave: yes. i thought it was funny
19:17:29 JoseR: taught?
19:19:46 lee: Tautology has at least three distinct meanings: * Tautology (logic), a statement true by virtue of its logical form. * Tautology (rhetoric), use of redundant language that adds no information. * Tautology, needless repetition of an idea, statement, or word. * Truism, an assertion that is so obvious as to add nothing to a discussion.
