Professor Judith Green reminds me of the meaning of "begging the question"

Fowler defines "begging the question" as the "fallacy of
founding a conclusion on a basis that as much needs to be proved as
the conclusion itself."

I learned this in high school, and just forgot (or just got sloppy). It is a good phrase with a specific meaning--we should keep it.
