  1. More logical fallacies You thought you were done with these, didn’t you?

  2. Either/Or Reasoning • “You’re either with me, or you’re against me.” • Why is it a fallacy? It presents only two options when more are possible.

  3. Stereotyping • Why is stereotyping a fallacy? • It’s based on both an unqualified and a hasty generalization. • See also: DictoSimpliciter, Hasty Generalization

  4. Evading the issue • Why is it a fallacy? You aren’t addressing the issue, you’re avoiding it because you don’t want to lose the argument. FYI: evasiveness is also an indicator of lying.

  5. Circular reasoning • Why is it a fallacy? Because it’s a fallacy. • Annoying isn’t it? Actually it is a fallacy because the logic attempts to be it’s own reason, and thus has no real reason.

  6. Therefore what? • These are the fallacies you absolutely need to know for the CECA, however, do not dismiss the other fallacies. They are just as important to your ability to effectively argue your opinions and to poke holes in the arguments of others. • Now go on home and convince your parents that you need a new pony. • Sources: Google images, memebasememebuilder
