4.87 to be exact.
"Any form of argument in which the conclusion occurs as one of the premisses, or a chain of arguments in which the final conclusion is a premiss of one of the earlier arguments in the chain. More generally, an argument begs the question when it assumes any controversial point not conceded by the other side."

Your post was entitled, "Someone more learned than me . . .".
Proper grammar is, "Someone more learned than I . . .".

I'll stand corrected if you'll stand corrected.
