ad hominem - Latin for "against the man." When a writer personally attacks his or her opponents instead of their arguments. ad populum - this fallacy occurs when evidence boils down to "everyone is doing it, so it must be a good thing to do" appeal to false authority - This fallacy occurs when someone who has no expertise to speak on an issue is cited as an authority. A TV star, for instance, is not a medical expert, even though pharmaceutical advertisements often use celebrity endorsements. begging the question - A fallacy in which a claim is based on evidence or support that is in doubt. circular reasoning - a fallacy in which the writer repeats the claim as a way to provide evidence either/or (false dilemma) - A fallacy in which the speaker presents two extreme options as the only possibly choices. faulty analogy - a fallacy that occurs when an analogy compares two things that are not comparable hasty generalization - A fallacy in which a faulty conclusion is reached because of inadequate evidence. logical fallacy - The potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses in an argument. They often arise from a failure to make a logical connection between the claim and the evidence used to support it. post hoc ergo propter hoc - This fallacy is Latin for "after which therefore because of which," meaning that it is incorrect to always claim that something is a cause just because it happened earlier. One may loosely summarize this fallacy by saying that correlation does not imply causation. straw man - A fallacy that occurs when a speaker chooses a deliberately poor or oversimplified example in order to ridicule or refute an idea red herring - When a speaker skips to a new and irrelevant topic in order to avoid the topic of discussion.
