This is tautology.
- Children need protection. They are eating children.
- Who are "they" here?
- Children eaters. So by definition that's what they'll do. It isn't a judgment. It is definitionally correct.
Cf
- Freedom is fragile. I won't give one inch here because they will shatter it.
- Who are "they" here?
- People who don't like freedom. So by definition that's what they'll do. It isn't a judgment. It is definitionally correct.
Right, children need protection from children eaters. You won't find me questioning that. No logical fallacy there. In fact, that's what a tautology is, a statement that's always true.
