Document Summary
A mistake in reasoning that is potentially deceptive; it must be intended to fool at least some of the people some of the time. Begging the question: also known as circular reasoning, this fallacy occurs when a speaker assumes a point he or she is making is a priori (a given ): bill: god must exist. Bill: because the bible was written by god. Occurs when a speaker claims that correlation proves causation; in other words, because two things happen simultaneously, then one must be the cause and the other, the effect. People who eat shredded wheat tend to have healthy hearts. First we loosen up the laws against abortion. Next, mark my words; we"ll take seriously the option of infanticide in certain severe cases. And this will lead us to look with favor on euthanasia for those we deem social deviants. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=kiv3m2gmguu&list=pligic4lncgarowfz0rfmbivdppojmj58n&index=5.
