Anangeon

Anangeon is a method of arguing (and logic), where the basis lies in inevitability or necessity. For example, "Yes, I missed school today, but I was sick and wouldn't have learnt anything anyway". This argument ignores the need to go to school, and mitigates the controversy of not going.

Other examples include: "The current world is in a state of chaos, but that's understandable, since humans have got a lot less organized, more stupid, and more populous".

Anangeon can be seen as a part of logos.
