False equivalence

Hi there. I saw you recently added an example to False equivalence. I wanted to explain why I removed it. The problem is that the source you cited did not discuss false equivalence but was instead about inflation. Your example seemed to interpret this source as proof that your example was not false equivalence. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not allow us to interpret sources; we call this original research. We can only summarize what sources say and not use them to support our own analysis. You would need to find a source that directly addresses the concept of false equivalence in discussions of inflation. The reason why some of the other examples in the article are unsourced is because they are trivial and follow the "X and Y are the same thing because they share characteristic Z" formula, such as the "dogs and cats are the same thing because they're both pets" example. The others, which are more complex, are sourced. I did a few searches on Google to try to find examples that discuss false equivalence and inflation, but I didn't see anything obvious. Let me know if I can do something to help you find a better source for your proposed example. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:37, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
