Many fallacies are explained through some examples. To explain something through an example is not necessarily bad. It is a problem when it is a bad example. To give bad examples can be considered as a typical case of error in reasoning, of fallacy, that we name
Exempli Gratia Fallacy. We will give some (hopefully good) examples of bad examples used to explain some given categories of fallacies. This is important since presently exemplification is a key to the theory of fallacies. Our talk aims at examining both what a fallacy is and what an example is.
