Document Summary

Because someone is an expert in one field does not mean that he or she is necessarily an expert in another (the point is not that these experts cannot be right, but that their expertise in a particular field does not give us reason to believe that they have expertise in all things) The fallacy against the person about a whole group based on an inadequate sample of the group (provide relevant evidence but is not sufficient enough to justify a strong conclusion, tend to result in stereotyping) Asserting that there are only two alternatives to consider in some issue when there are actually more than two (if you are presented with an either/or statement and you can think up more possilities, then you may be looking at a false dilemma) Allows someone defending a claim to dodge a counter example appealing to something that"s almost always irrelevant to it (character, motives, or personal circumstances)
