What is a Logical Fallacy?

  • A logical fallacy is an error in reasoning that makes your argument less effective and convincing. Sometimes someone will do this deliberately, especially in debates and politics to sway the masses. 

7 very common examples (more details in slides to come):

  1. Ad-Hominem – attacking character rather than the argument.
  2. Ad-Populum – But “everyone” does it. #Popularity
  3. Strawman – attack a different and much simpler argument not actually being made by the opponent.
  4. Correlation/Causation fallacy (Ice cream is correlated with drowning, therefore if you eat ice cream you will drown).
  5. False Dichotomy fallacy (Your either fully “Canadian” or not.).
  6. Appeal to Authority Fallacy (If Doctor/Lawyer/Scholar said it’s OK then it must be true.)
  7. Red Herring Fallacy (distracting someone with irrelevant information).
