(539) Ros Barbers logical fallacies on Shakespeare Authorship Mystery Day.

Is she aware of the problem of "negative circular reasoning"? 


Circular Reasoning



On Nov, 8th 2018  the Second Annual 

Shakespeare Authorship Mystery Day celebration

 took place with  a live stream introduction

 by former Marlowian Ros Barber. 

There she formulated:

Barber: (at min 29:50)   "....shortly after 1594....the name, either the initials W.S. or name Shakespeare started appearing on plays that actually are not his, 


that we know aren't his. 

So there were 7 plays that are part of the Shakespeare Apocrypha which means that they were at one point attributed to Shakespeare,

 we now know for sure they were not written by Shakespeare

 and its very interesting to me that these plays some of which are performed by that company end up beeing published with name or initials of William Shakespeare...it backs up the broker theory   "

How - on earth - can Ros Barber assert that the plays  "The London Prodigal" or "The Yorkshire Tragedy" were not written by Shakespeare.?.. Barber has not even defined if she means William from Stratford or the concealed poet genius, the"true Shakespeare" who must have used the name "Shakespeare" as a pseudonym or pen-name, ( her own live stream is arguing for.)

I suspect that Barber has not even noticed which  logical error of thinking she accomplished.  Let me explain this with a single example:

 This is classical "negative circular reasoning".
