False dichotomy Eventually this article needs a subsection about the debate being a false dichotomy Any input for this subsection Previously I said that the debate is a false dichotomy because it sets up two alternative points of view as if they were the only options when they are not ie see Hesiod s Theogony I now realize there are in fact two reasons why this is a false dichotomy the second being that the two options do not oppose eachother by contradiction
