corrupt continuum
the sufficiency problem of corrupt continuums

description

Fallacy of the Continuum occurs when different things are proposed to be the same because they are connected by a series of incremental differences.

examples

"There was no particular day when my grandmother stopped being 'young' and started being 'old', so she is still as young as her grandchildren."

"There is no clear point where black becomes white, so they can be considered the same colour."
