Fallacies
Personal Attack: A personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person making the claim and not the claim itself. The truth value of a claim is independent of the person making the claim. After all, no matter how repugnant an individual might be, he or she can still make true claims.
Example: A prosecutor asks the judge to not admit the testimony of a burglar because burglars are not trustworthy.
Two Wrongs Make a Right: A fallacy in which a person "justifies" an action against a person by asserting that the person would do the same thing to him/her, when the action is not necessary to prevent B from doing X to A. This fallacy has the following pattern of "reasoning":
Misleading Vividness: A fallacy in which a very small number of particularly dramatic events are taken to outweigh a significant amount of statistical evidence. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:
This is used to convince someone that the occurrence (restaurant) is a widespread problem (their food will cause you to be hospitalized). Although misleading vividness does little to support an argument logically, it can have a very strong psychological effect.
Middle Ground: This fallacy is committed when it is assumed that the middle position between two extremes must be correct simply because it is the middle position. this sort of "reasoning" has the following form:
Kang: Abortion for all!
Crowd: Boooo!
Kang: All right, then. No abortion for anyone!
Crowd:Boooo!
Knag: Hmmm...Abortion for some, miniature american flags for others!
Crowd: YAY!

Two Wrongs Make a Right: A fallacy in which a person "justifies" an action against a person by asserting that the person would do the same thing to him/her, when the action is not necessary to prevent B from doing X to A. This fallacy has the following pattern of "reasoning":
- It is claimed that person B would do X to person A.
- It is acceptable for person A to do X to person B (when A's doing X to B is not necessary to prevent B from doing X to A).
Misleading Vividness: A fallacy in which a very small number of particularly dramatic events are taken to outweigh a significant amount of statistical evidence. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:
- Dramatic or vivid event X occurs (and is not in accord with the majority of the statistical evidence) .
- Therefore events of type X are likely to occur.
This is used to convince someone that the occurrence (restaurant) is a widespread problem (their food will cause you to be hospitalized). Although misleading vividness does little to support an argument logically, it can have a very strong psychological effect.
Middle Ground: This fallacy is committed when it is assumed that the middle position between two extremes must be correct simply because it is the middle position. this sort of "reasoning" has the following form:
- Position A and B are two extreme positions.
- C is a position that rests in the middle between A and B.
- Therefore C is the correct position.
