Current Events > CE Word of the day - fallacy

(+) Yeah! (+)

I want to post more, so I plan to scan CE topics to find an interesting word.
If you want to post in this topic, try to use the word of the day in a sentence.

Today's word is fallacy.
As defined by Merriam-Webster:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fallacy

Did You Know?

Philosophers are constantly using the word fallacy. For them, a fallacy is reasoning that comes to a conclusion without the evidence to support it. This may have to do with pure logic, with the assumptions that the argument is based on, or with the way words are used, especially if they don't keep exactly the same meaning throughout the argument. There are many classic fallacies that occur again and again through the centuries and everywhere in the world. You may have heard of such fallacies as the "ad hominem" fallacy, the "question-begging" fallacy, the "straw man" fallacy, the "slippery slope" fallacy, the "gambler's" fallacy, or the "red herring" fallacy. Look them up and see if you've ever been guilty of any of them.
