2. Reason / F. Fallacies / 1. Fallacy

21697	The Struthionic Fallacy is that of burying one's head in the sand [Quine]
	Full Idea: The Struthionic Fallacy is that of burying one's head in the sand [which I name from the Greek for 'ostrich']
	From: Willard Quine (Lecture on Nominalism [1946], §4)
	A reaction: David Armstrong said this is the the fallacy involved in a denial of universals. Quine is accusing Carnap and co. of the fallacy.
