President Abraham Lincoln was once embroiled in a dispute with a colleague. Unable to get his opponent to see the error in his thinking Lincoln said, “Tell me, how many legs does a cow have?” “What?” responded the man, “why four of course.” “Now suppose,” continued the president, “that you call the cow’s tail a leg. Then how many legs does a cow have?” “Five,” replied the man. “That’s where you are wrong,” replied Lincoln. “Calling a cow’s tail a leg does not make it a leg.” Author Unknown
