Criticizing conceptual claims: show that a term is not used consistently (i. e. fallacy of equivocation), show that a term is used in a misleading way (not how we normally define it). Definition-like premise -> a premise which gives a (often incomplete) definition of a concept. Any publication which contains sexually explicit images is pornographic.
