Prove that “guilt by association” is false (logical fallacy.)
An example contradiction: the murderer consorted with his friend to hold up the bank. The friend provided the weapon used during the course of the robbery that resulted in the murder of a teller. The friend is guilty in providing the weapon that was used to murder the teller; therefore, it cannot be stated as truth that “guilt by association” is a logical fallacy. QED
The phrase is meaningless.
It has a very well know and defined meaning. I don't have time for some who wants to play that game.
