    Basically : when a reasoning is flawed the result of that reasoning is likewise.

    Somehow, some mathematicians needed to write extensively about such stupid things :

      That must have been a hugely surprising event with major ramifications.

    I don’t know about horses, but, as ol’ Ben Franklin said after a life of laborious research, all cats are gray in the dark, so the same probably applies to other mammals.

      Well… that’s a horse of a different color!

      Oddly enough, there’s no entry for the saying, just a TV show episode.

    That only disproves it for some definitions of color. If we define color as “not colorless” or even as “visible”, then they are still all the same color (all one of it).
