Message Control By Summary Dismissal

 

Summary Dismissal is an attempt to end the discussion without even considering the facts.  It is the act of saying, "My mind is made up.  Don't confuse me with facts."

  • Statements to say that the debate is over
  • Examples
    • History has shown us...
    • It is now beyond dispute...
    • It has long been settled...
    • evolution, global warming
    • Attacks against the Gospel through the centuries
