logical fallacies

bad person

you too, hypocrite

cause and effect based only on sequence

after the fact explanation thrown together

its old so its right

fact of small applied to large amt

large group applied to specific instance/individual

argument in not relevant

• exaggerate or highlight weak point of counter to easily refute them
• (hint: straw men are easily destroyed)

exaggerating excessively to evoke certain emotion

lack of evidence proves something (can't prove it exists/is true so it doesn't/isn't)

using false expertise; do something because someone says so

a large majority believes it so it's right

a large majority of ppl do something so you should too

using your premise to prove itself

introduce something to distract from the main argument--seems like its related but its not

exaggerates possible effects; chain reaction ending in some dire consequence (one step and you slip to the bottom)

two things compared that aren't really alike

suggests there are only two options/possible outcomes in a complex situation

play on words; word is used in two different meanings in the same argument and thus changes the subject

generalizing characteristics of a specific group
