Analogy (again)

"ad hominem circumstantial" attacks usually arise from a person having an irrational attachment to their beliefs. this lack of objective detachment causes them to become irrationally denounce of their beliefs.

i'm aclassic car lover. myself owns afew classic cars. and i meet quite afew owners too
classic cars are very special. even though they are as of same model, there are certain bit and piece that are different than the other same car. to maintain acar to its original state, it requires alot of read up, research and of course, money.

every year there's anannual classic car fest. owners of these classic cars would gather and convoy together to the event, get their cars polished meet new friends and ultimately, hope that their car will win them some prize after all the hard work.

one year, my friend was so very confident that his car will win the most original award. he had spent dozen of thousands on it and he thinks that no other car can be better than his.  but at the end of the event, he did not win the category that he hoped for, but he won the best maintained classic car.  to many, this is avery honorable prize, but to him, he's not happy with it. he argued with the judges for not getting the best original. the judge told him that his car can never be best original, because all his parts are new, and the new parts are not from origin country but mostly from china our taiwan. in that case, the car ids not original.

my friend gone mad and said that all his parts were purchased from legit seller and if the sellers are legit then the parts should be deemed as original. how ever, the judges decision are final. there's nothing he can do. after that, whenever there's such event and the judge are from the same group, he will tell everyone to not take part and claimed that those judge take bribe.
