Love is a

Fallacy
 DICTO SIMPLICITER
- an argument based on an unqualified
generalization.

Example:
“Exercise is good. Therefore everybody should exercise.”
“Car is fast. Therefore every time we hang out, we
should drive a car.”
“Dog is a pet. Everyone likes it.”
 HASTY GENERALIZATION
- the scope of evidence is too small to support the
conclusion.

Example:
“One or two SCC student disturbed the class. Thus all
SCC students are noisy.”
“Shane doesn‟t like salmon. He won‟t eat any fish.”
 POST HOC
- this fallacy is committed it is concluded that one
event causes another simply because the proposed cause
occurred before the proposed effect.

Examples:
“It rains when I don‟t carry umbrella. Therefore rain is
the cause of not taking umbrella.”
“Let‟s not take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take it
out with us, it rains.”
 FALSE ANALOGY
- it is the process of making connection between
two common things but there is no known connection
between them.

Example:
“Mr. A and Mr. B are good in study and they share
everything about their study. But it doesn‟t indicate that
they have to share everything; like girlfriend, property,
etc.
 CONTRADICTORY PREMISES
- conclusions are drawn from the interactions of
premises: where two premises contradict each other,
there can be no interaction and hence no conclusion.

Example:
“If God can do anything, can he make a stone so heavy
that he won‟t be able to lift it?”
 AD MISERICORDIAM
- it is a logical fallacy in which someone tries to
win support by their arguments by exploiting their
opponents feeling of pity.

Example:
“I really need a part time job. Unless and until I don‟t
get job I cannot fulfill my girlfriend‟s desires and how
can I approach to marry her.”
 HYPOTHESIS CONTRARY TO FACT

- extracting the conclusion from the fact that what

would happen if it was not correct.

Example:
“I married you. So, if hadn‟t married you, you would
have stayed without getting boy to marry.”
“If I had not had Mr. Smith for a teacher, I would not
never understand algebra.”
 POISONING THE WELL
- the fact or limitation of anything which is
presented in front of every body and the let them to do
the assigned work.

Example:
“Before you ask for help let me tell you that I have no
money in the pocket.”
“Two men are having a debate. The first one gets up and
says, „My opponent is a notorious liar. You can‟t believe
a word that he is going to say.‟
