Fallacies You Should Know

The author of Thank You for talks the 7 deadly logical sins.
The false comparison: is comparing two things together when there is no correlation between them
The Bad example: is saying that since a bus crashed, you should never allow your kid on the school bus
Ignorance as proof: an example is saying what we cannot prove does not exist
The tautology: is repeating the same idea with different words. an example is saying that someone is honest, so that means you can trust them
The false choice: is giving only two options when there is clearly many others
The Red Herring: is switching the topic to throw off the audience. It allows the audience to forget the main issue.
The wrong ending: says if you allow one thing, you will have to allow all the others. It fails to lead to the conclusion
These proofs can all be formed together by bad proof, bad conclusion, and disconnect between proof and conclusion. Fallacies trick the reader or audience into thinking what they want them to think. In order to get around a fallacy, you have to see past the lie and to what is the truth.
