	Beg The Question // Get it right.
		"Begging the question" is a form of logical fallacy in which an argument is assumed to be true without evidence other than the argument itself.
		When one begs the question, the initial assumption of a statement is treated as already proven without any logic to show why the statement is true in the first place.
		"It begs the question, why is he so dumb?") This is a common error of usage made by those who mistake the word "question" in the phrase to refer to a literal question.

	AUE: FAQ excerpt: "beg the question"
		Fowler defines "begging the question" as the "fallacy of founding a conclusion on a basis that as much needs to be proved as the conclusion itself." "Question" here does not mean "a sentence in interrogative form".
		Common varieties of begging the question are paraphrase of the statement to be proved ("Telepathy cannot exist because direct transfer of thought between individuals is impossible"), and arguing in a circle ("The Bible must be true, because God wouldn't lie to us; we know God is trustworthy, because it says so in the Bible").
		The phrase can be traced back to Aristotle (4th century B.C.): "Begging or assuming the point at issue consists (to take the expression in its widest sense) in failing to demonstrate the required proposition.
