Refimprove date January 2008 A false statement is a statement that is either willfully or unknowingly untrue. Though the word fallacy is often used as a synonym for false statement , this is not logical fallacy what is meant by fallacy in logic or most formal contexts. A false statement need not be a lie . A lie is a statement that is known to be untrue and is used to mislead. A false statement is a statement that is untrue but not necessarily told to mislead, as a statement given by someone who does not know it is untrue. Examples of false statements Misleading statement lie John told his little brother that sea otters aren t mammals, but fish, even though John himself was a marine biologist and knew otherwise. John simply wanted to see his little brother fail his class report, in order to teach him to begin projects early, which help him develop skills necessary to succeed in life Statement made out of ignorance James, John s brother, stated in his class report that sea otters were fish. James got an F after his teacher pointed out why that statement was false. James did not know that sea otters were in fact mammals because he heard that sea otters were fish from his older brother John, a marine biologist .

Over time, repeated false alarms in a certain area may cause occupants to start to ignore all alarms, knowing that each time it will probably be a fake. The concept of this can be traced at least as far back as Aesop s story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf , where many episodes of a boy falsely yelling wolf caused the townspeople to ignore his cries when a real wolf came.

update date November 2010 False Point is a harbour in the Kendrapada district of Orissa, India . It was reported by the famine commissioners in 1867 to be the best harbour on the coast of India from the Hugh to Bombay. It derives its name from the circumstance that vessels proceeding up the Bay of Bengal frequently mistook it for Point Palmyras , a degree farther north. The anchorage is safe, roomy and completely landlocked, but large vessels are obliged to lie out at some distance from its mouth in an exposed roadstead. The capabilities of False Point as a harbour remained long unknown, and it was only in 1860 that the port was opened. It was rapidly developed, owing to the construction of the Orissa canals. Two navigable channels lead inland across the Mahanadi river Mahanadi delta, and connect the port with Cuttack city. The trade of False Point is chiefly with other Indian harbours, but a large export trade in rice and oil seeds has sprung up with Mauritius , the French colonies and France. False Point is now a regular port of call for Anglo Indian coasting steamers. Its capabilities were first appreciated during the Orissa famine of 1866, when it afforded almost the only means by which supplies of rice could be thrown into the province. A lighthouse is situated a little to the south of the anchorage, on the point which screens it from the southern monsoon. 1911 Category Mahanadi River Category Kendrapara district ca False Point sv False Point ... more details

A false economy refers to an action which saves money at the beginning but which, over a longer period of time, results in more money being wasted than being saved. For example, if a city government decided to purchase the least expensive automobiles for use by city workers, it might be termed false economy, as cheap automobiles have a record of traditionally needing more frequent repairs in the long term and the repair costs will eradicate any initial savings garnered. Motivating factors on the part of the party engaging in false economies may be linked to the longterm involvement of this party. For example, a real estate developer who builds a condominium may turn the finished structure over to the ensuing condominium corporation which is run by its members once the last unit is sold and the building has passed a final inspection. Longevity of the components of the structure beyond the final turnover of the facility may not be a major motivating factor for the developer, meaning that the result of the application of false economies may be more detrimental to the end user, as opposed to the developer. Individuals may also practise false economy in their personal lives. A notable practitioner of false economy was King Frederick William I of Prussia , who was said by Thomas Macaulay to have saved five or six rixdollars a year feeding his family unwholesome cabbages even though the poor diet sickened his children and the resulting medical care cost him many times what he saved. ref MacAulay, Thomas Babington. Critical and Historical Essays . Volume 2. ref The concept is similar to planned obsolescence , whereby the lower initial cost of a false economy attracts buyers mostly on the basis of low cost, who may later be at a disadvantage.

False purpose is a grammar grammatical construct that inaccurately applies intent to an action. The construct nearly always arises because of the incorrect use of the preposition to in front of a verb describing an action in the past. False purpose is considered an error by many grammarians, though it is commonly found in American sportswriting . An example from baseball Adam doubled twice to knock in four runs for Saratoga. The use of false purpose is regarded as an error in this example because it incorrectly suggests that Varteressian s intent in hitting two doubles was to drive in precisely four runs, when in fact his four runs batted in are simply a cumulative effect of his general efforts to accumulate hits and runs for his team. The error is easily corrected Adam doubled twice and knocked in four runs for Saratoga.
