Recognizing logical fallacies

It's important to know how to recognize logical fallacies. The trick to spotting logical fallacies is comparing statements logical steps with the logical steps of a good deductive or inductive argument. Too often, logical fallacies arise because people draw improper conclusions from the evidence, or reduce the evidence to a smaller number of options than are really available. There are seven total uses of logical fallacies. Starting with the False Comparison, the Bad Example, Ignorance as Proof, the Tautology, the False Choice, the Red Herring, and finally the Wrong Ending. Personally, I notice the first deadly sin: The False Comparison most often. For example "If you follow this diet plan, you'll lose 20 pounds in just six weeks!". This type of argument falsely compares everyone's rate of weight loss.
