From 'Erasing the Tang Dynasty' to Ku Ling's Double-Standard Rhetoric: The Absurdity of Traffic Chasing when Political Stance Overrides Common Sense

Well-known writer Ku Ling posted a viral message claiming that 'the Tang Dynasty and all historical dynasties never existed,' arguing that regimes were overthrown by violence rather than 'passed down.' This article analyzes the logical fallacies and linguistic tricks behind his claim, exposing how he plays low-level definition games as historical deconstruction to gain clout, ultimately falling into logical bankruptcy and political double standards.

Critique: Comparing Taoyuan Airport MRT to Hokkaido Shinkansen Based Solely on Budget is the 'Worst Logical Argument'

This article critiques a report by 'BuzzOrange,' a media outlet controlled by Ko Wen-je's associate Tai Chi-chuan. The report attacked the Taoyuan Airport MRT project by claiming it had the 'same construction time and similar budget but only one-third the length' of the Hokkaido Shinkansen. The author points out that this comparison is severely flawed because the key engineering feat of the Hokkaido Shinkansen—the Seikan Tunnel—was completed decades ago with Shinkansen standards pre-installed, significantly lowering recent costs. The author attributes the MRT's delays to 'greedy political interference' rather than mere engineering failure.
