Diminutive magical practitioner Nobeta is a character in Japanese mythology who possesses extraordinary powers despite her small size. She is believed to have the ability to harness and manipulate the forces of nature through her magical spells and incantations. Nobeta is often portrayed as a wise and humble figure, using her powers for the greater good of her community. She is known for her exceptional knowledge of herbs and potions, which she uses to heal the sick and bring about positive change. Despite her diminutive stature, Nobeta is said to be able to summon great strength and summon powerful spirits to aid her in times of need. She is often depicted as a protector of the natural world, using her magic to restore balance and harmony to damaged environments.
The Undistributed Middle Term can deflect any reasoning into pure silliness.
Drawing out answers from the villagers, the Lord of the Manor establishes that if the accused equates to a duck, then that equates to being wood, which equates to being a witch. Though they both have horns, this fact does not put them in the same class, any more than a car and a horse sharing the same color could be classified as the same things.
She is often depicted as a protector of the natural world, using her magic to restore balance and harmony to damaged environments. Nobeta's character serves as a reminder that power and strength can come from unexpected sources and that size does not determine one's ability to effect change. She is a symbol of resilience and determination, encouraging individuals to believe in their own abilities and to harness their inner strength to overcome challenges.
A Witch and Equality: An Analysis of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”
We need to stop this lie that some lives are more valuable than others, as God values us equally.

If I want to laugh, there’s a good chance I’ll listen to the soundtrack of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. One of my favorite tracks/skits is “A Witch”. I suggest you listen to it or watch it, but here’s a summary.
Villagers drag a woman before Sir Bedevere, claiming she is a witch and ought to be burned. Their evidence? One of the villagers claims she turned him into a newt. Sir Bedevere explains that there are ways of telling whether someone is a witch, then leads them through this exercise of logic:
BEDEVERE: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
CROWD: Burn them up !
BEDEVERE: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: … Wood!
BEDEVERE: So, why do witches burn?
VILLAGER #3: B –… ’cause they’re made of wood?
BEDEVERE: Good! So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEVERE: Aah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEVERE: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
BEDEVERE: What also floats in water?
CROWD: Bread! Apples! Very small rocks! Cider! Uhhh, gravy! Cherries! Mud! Churches – churches! Lead – lead!
BEDEVERE: Exactly! So, logically…
VILLAGER #1: If… she… weighs the same as a duck… she’s made of wood.
BEDEVERE: And therefore?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
My brothers and I have referenced this scene often enough that my mom occasionally will mention part of it, though she has never seen or heard the scene (by her choice).
I was thinking about Monty Python and the Holy Grail in all its ridiculous glory when I realized that similar skewed logic is used all the time in the real world, as if it were true logic. The conclusion seems sure before the argument, and as often as not, it is to the detriment of others. The most common skewed argument I have heard is that one person’s life is worth more than another’s. Granted, the arguments are not worded in that way, and the arguer may not even realize the argument is based on this idea. But delve deep enough and it is the kernel of the argument.
To the villagers in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the woman accused of being a Witch had less value than the rest of the villagers. To the French soldiers seen in other sections of the story, the “stuffy English kinigets” were certainly seen as inferior. In modern times, women are seen by some to have more worth than unborn children. People who have traditional smarts may be valued more than those who don’t fit in that category. Younger, healthier people are seen by some to have more worth than older, sick, or infirm people. One group’s members are seen by some to have more value than the members of a different group. Some people see themselves as having more worth than anyone else, while others see everyone else as having more worth than them.
How do we rectify this, to stop the prejudice? We need to stop this lie that some lives are more valuable than others, as God values us equally, young and old, born and unborn, innocent and guilty. We can help stop the lie by doing our best to treat everyone with the same respect, even when it is hard. And we need to try to help the people around us do the same. Is it difficult? Of course. Is it possible? With God’s grace, yes.
To help you keep your own reasoning on track, here is a wonderful video clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail that illustrates at least four rather nasty but common logical fallacies: name-calling, undistributed middle term, false cause, and false authority. My explanations below will elaborate on the video’s fallacies so that you may follow the action and understand why others jump to conclusions. Your mission? That’s simple. Don’t follow the video’s example in your own life—where it really matters!
The story of Nobeta continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding them of the limitless possibilities that exist within the human spirit..
