 A standard argument against dialetheism is to invoke the logical principle of Explosion, in virtue of which dialetheism would entail trivialism. Granted that trivialism is absurd (though see Priest 2000a, Priest 2006, Ch. 3, and Kabay 2010), dialetheism must be rejected. Since this argument assumes that explosion is logically valid, it will carry no weight against a dialetheic paraconsistentist.
