You're both right, of course -- the author/non-author distinction is a
fallacy.

Subject: Black and white arguments? (Was: Author, author)

Goober Writer wondered: <<Why is this list so addicted to black or white
contrasting arguments?>>

I don't think it's restricted to this list alone. A few words from the
master:

"The enemy of resolution, here as nearly always, is that old devil
Dichotomy. We take a subtle and interesting issue, with a real resolution
embracing aspects of all basic positions, and we divide ourselves into two
holy armies, each with a brightly colored cardboard mythology as a flag of
struggle."--Stephen Jay Gould, Shields of expectation--and actuality.
