Logical fallacy
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In philosophy, the term logical fallacy properly refers to a formal
fallacy: a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which renders
the argument invalid. However, it is often used more generally in
informal discourse to mean an argument which is problematic for any
reason, and thus encompasses informal fallacies - valid but unsound
claims or bad nondeductive argumentation - as well as formal
fallacies.
The presence of a formal fallacy in a deductive argument does not imply
anything about the argument's premises or its conclusion. Both may
actually be true, or even more probable as a result of the argument
(e.g. appeal to authority), but the deductive argument is still invalid
because the conclusion does not follow from the premises in the manner
described. By extension, an argument can contain a formal fallacy even
if the argument is not a deductive one; for instance an inductive
argument that incorrectly applies principles of probability or
causality can be said to commit a formal fallacy.
Recognizing fallacies in everyday arguments may be difficult since
arguments are often embedded in rhetorical patterns that obscure the
logical connections between statements. Informal fallacies may also
exploit the emotions or intellectual or psychological weaknesses of the
audience. Having the capability to recognize fallacies in arguments
will hopefully reduce the likelihood of such an occurrence.
A different approach to understanding and classifying fallacies is
provided by argumentation theory; see for instance the van Eemeren,
Grootendorst reference below. In this approach, an argument is regarded
as an interactive protocol between individuals which attempts to
resolve a disagreement. The protocol is regulated by certain rules of
interaction and violations of these rules are fallacies. Many of the
fallacies in the list below are best understood as being fallacies in
this sense.
Common examples
Ad baculum
Ad hominem
Affirming the consequent
Appeal to authority
Appeal to fear
Appeal to pity
Appeal to the majority
Argument from ignorance
Begging the question
Biased sample
Correlation implies causation
Equivocation
hasty generalization
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
Straw man
For a list of types of formal and informal fallacy, as well as examples
of fallacious arguments, see Fallacy. For a concise list of "appeal to"
fallacies, see Appeal (disambiguation).

Google "Logical Fallacies" and click on the Wikipedia Link. It's quick
and easy to see how the fools here argue with so many fallacies that we
are unable to EVER sway the same person to his ways of thinking. The
you fools here who are trolling this group and making short masturbate
of other posters by being invalidators, need to learn how his arguments
are totally non-workable. Hint: Just because Puddles makes fun of a
person's name or tell others Annex isn't a criminal or a pervert or a
drunk or a devil, can always make Puddles a lesbian. In fact my problem
makes Puddles look like a self-righteous vindictive massive turd for
brains who shouldn't THINK.

Yes Puddles carry the burden of proof to forget that I act no differently than ME and my pals towards Puddles and my pals. Anyone can see I act

about my "Book of Shadows understanding" isn't completely illegitimate. You guess everything. I called Puddles a dunder tooshie years ago Jesus.
Know who? Because Puddles are only stupid to spell correctly (see above post of yours. What HORRIBLE grammar Puddles have! You stupid fuck!) and
only stupid to argue proficiently. Besides which Puddles not had a valid point. Your point has been that I am an asshole and Puddles don't like him.
Big deal. THAT isn't a logical fallacy. Saying my problem can always make Puddles a lesbian. See Puddles in the unfortunate papers, Dunderhead!

Who me? I was just pointing out how authoritative that site is since it's
a favorite of the Piddlewiths and his friend.

You'll get to it soon enough, by the time you see this reply, you
will know the answer.
