# Talk:Homer vs. Patty and Selma

The article text says: Contributor Raja Halwani writes in the compilation work The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer that the episode shows Homer's preclusion to habitually lie to Marge
The word preclusion means "to prevent from happening", whereas the plot section of the article seems rather to have the episode demonstrating Homer's proclivity (tendency/inclination) for lying to Marge. So do I misunderstand the plot of the episode? If not, does Raja Halwani really use the word preclusion in the cited work, or did a wiki editor attempt to summarise that work and use the wrong word? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.124.104.231  (talk • contribs) 

 Done, changed word "preclusion" to "tendency", instead. — Cirt (talk) 19:17, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
