Is this saying an oxymoron????? help!

Question

"Bread crumbs are better than nothing. Nothing is better than cheesecake. Therefore, breadcrumbs are better than cheesecake."

-is this an oxymoron? if not... what is it???

Answer 1

It's a conundrum.

Answer 2

No. This is not an oxymoron. It is a kind of logical opinion.

Answer 3

an oxymoron would be something like "cruel to be kind"

"expect the unexpected", or "pretty ugly"... it is when you combine two normally contradictory terms...

Answer 4

I don't think it is. An oxymoron is like, "The tension built as a silent thunder roared through the room." Like, thunder is loud, but in this sentence it is said to be silent. Almost like it's so quiet but it's very tense.

Answer 5

No, an oxymoron is a contradiction in terms, like "deafening silence", "accidentally on purpose"

This is a logical fallacy, like this equivocation:

Equivocation: using the same word with two different meanings

    * The sign said "Fine for Parking Here," so since it was fine, I parked there.  

Answer 6

National Security

Military Intelligence

Corporate Responsibility
