Logical Fallacies

    Cards (4)

    • special pleading - moving the goalposts or making up exceptions when a claim is shown to be false
    • loaded question - asking a question that has an assumption built into it so it can't be answered without appearing guilty
    • gambler's fallacy - believing that runs occur to statistically independent phenomena (e.g. wheel spins)
    • begging the question - a circular argument in which the conclusion is included into the premise
