What "false dilemma"? If one has a saw equipped with a Sawstop, then
the
choice is to replace the cartridge for 100 bucks, replace the saw for
whatever is the price of a new saw, defeat the absent cartridge, or
don't
saw. I don't see another option.


That is the point he is making.


What is the point?


The false dillema is what you are not understanding. That's OK, not
everyone does.


There is no "false dilemma". If your saw doesn't work then you have to do
something about it and the only real solution that does not involve fixing
the saw is to get a new saw.

You can play word games about "false dilemmas" until Hell freezes over and
it won't alter the fact.

You'd happily pay $100 or more if it save
your finger from being amputated. Yes, you'd be very PO'd on a false
reaction, but I'd put $1000 in the till if it saves a finger.


Don't presume to tell me what I would do, sir.


I apologize. It was very presumptuous of me to assume that everyone would
be willing to pay $100 to avoid having a finger cut off. I guess there
are
exceptions. My fingers are worth that much to me, but your are worth how
much?


You assume that the alternatives are to pay $100 or to get a finger cut off.
Talk about "false dilemmas".
