    The document discusses different types of fallacies, which are faulty or invalid reasoning in arguments. There are four main kinds of fallacies: fallacies of inconsistency, inappropriate presumption, relevance, and insufficiency. An example of a fallacy is claiming summer is the best season because it is warm without considering opposing arguments. When discussing arguments with fallacies, it is best to help the person see the problem with their reasoning without directly naming the fallacy.

    • Fallacy is invalid or faulty reasoning in construction of
    argument
    • It isdeceptive by appearing to be better than it really is.
    • 4 kinds:-
    fallacy of inconsistency
    fallacy of inappropriate presumption
    fallacies of relevance
    fallacies of insufficiency
    • Any evidence that supports an opposing argument is simply
    rejected, omitted or ignored.

    • Example
    Summer is the best season because it is warm, everything is
    green, window can be opened, etc
    • Note the specific fallacy mentally and then use questions to
    show the person the problem, without name dropping the
    specific fallacy

    • Help the person to see the problem with their reasoning
