[9]
Another fallacy is the omission of when and how.
For instance, Alexander Paris had a right to carry off Helen, for the choice of a
husband had been given her by her father. But （this was a
fallacy）, for it was not, as might be thought, for all time, but only
for the first time; for the father's authority only lasts till then.
Or, if one should say that it
is wanton outrage to beat a free man; for this is not always the case, but only
when the assailant gives the first blow.
