- evidence used is irrelevant to the actual argument, often relying on psychology or emotion to affect the audience
ie.
- bandwagon
- stereotyping
Fallacies of Components/Composition
- a reliance on one part of the whole being true (or false), therefore the whole argument is true (or false)
ie.
- atoms are not visible to the naked eye, humans are made of atoms, ergo humans are not visible to the naked eye
Fallacies of Ambiguity
- incorrect reasoning due to imprecise/incorrect use of language
Fallacies of Omission
-necessary information or data is left out in order to misdirect others
