That&#x27;s not what &quot;No True Scotsman&quot; means, nor is NTS much of a &quot;fallacy&quot; in any case. The article isn&#x27;t introducing an obfuscating qualification after being caught out with some inconvenient fact - there isn&#x27;t even an interlocutor! It&#x27;s merely delineating those people it thinks ought to be brought to mind when one hears of Silicon Valley. Right or wrong, it has nothing to do with NTS whatsoever. If anything, you&#x27;re guilty of rhetorical underhandedness in bringing in a highly dubious &quot;fallacy&quot; into the conversation in order to boost your case.
