I suppose that, to a neurosurgeon, every brain is pretty much like every other brain. But I would disagree, if the particular brain in question were my brain.

Actually, my original quip is indeed a logical fallacy... I'm not up on the terminology; maybe "assertion of the consequent"? No, that's not quite right... At any rate, it goes something like:

If A, then B
B
therefore, A

Or, more specifically,
MHS bought a telescope from a man who experienced Y.
Phil experienced Y.
Therefore, MHS bought a telescope from Phil.

(beeeep) Wron-guh!
