Contextual Fallacies

I don't think I'd speculate that fallacies are always contextual, but the degree to which a fallacy is central and critical may depend on the nature of the context.

This thought was trigged by a reference to the importance of the Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing.

It seems to me that the risks highlighted by these fallacies are much more important to Execution/Transaction-oriented activities than to Exploration/Discovery-oriented ones...or maybe I'm just being too reactionary... :-)
