Appeal to ignorance

1. There is no evidence that ghosts don't exist, therefore they must exist." This is an appeal to
ignorance fallacy, as the absence of evidence does not necessarily imply that something is true.
2. "There is no proof that aliens haven't visited Earth, therefore they must have visited Earth." This is
another example of an appeal to ignorance fallacy, as the lack of evidence for something does not
prove it’s opposite.
3. "Nobody has ever proven that psychic powers are real, so we should assume that they are not." This
is also an appeal to ignorance fallacy, as the absence of evidence does not necessarily mean that
something is false.
4. "There is no way to prove that God does not exist, so we should assume that he does." This is yet
another example of an appeal to ignorance fallacy, as the lack of evidence for or against something
does not provide evidence for its existence.

Fallacy of inappropriate authority

1. Dr. Smith, who won a Nobel Prize for Chemistry, says that eating Tide Pods is safe, so
it must be true." This is an example of the fallacy of inappropriate authority, as Dr.
Smith's expertise in chemistry does not necessarily make him an authority on the
safety of consuming laundry detergent.
2. "The President of the United States said that we should all take this new medication,
so it must be effective." This is another example of the fallacy of inappropriate
authority, as the President's position of authority does not necessarily make him an
expert on medicine.
3. "My mechanic said that the best way to cure cancer is to change your oil regularly, so
it must be true." This is a humorous example of the fallacy of inappropriate authority,
as a mechanic's expertise in car maintenance does not translate to medical
knowledge.
4. "My favorite celebrity said that we should all buy this product, so it must be worth
the investment." This is another example of the fallacy of inappropriate authority, as
a celebrity's popularity or fame does not necessarily make them an expert on the
product in question.

Fallacy of sweeping generalization

1. All politicians are corrupt." This is an example of a sweeping generalization, as it

assumes that every single politician is corrupt without any consideration of individual
differences.
2. "All dogs are friendly." This is another example of a sweeping generalization, as it
assumes that every single dog is friendly without considering individual
temperament or breed tendencies.
3. "All millennials are lazy and entitled." This is a third example of a sweeping
generalization, as it assumes that every member of a specific generation is lazy and
entitled without considering individual differences.
4. "All men are aggressive." This is yet another example of a sweeping generalization, as
it assumes that every male individual is aggressive without considering individual
temperament, cultural background or personal experiences.

Fallacy of false cause

1. Since I started wearing my lucky socks, my favorite team has won every game." This is an example
of the fallacy of false cause, as it assumes that the socks caused the team's victories without any
evidence to support that claim.
2. "Since we started the new wellness program, absenteeism has gone down. Therefore, the
wellness program caused the decrease in absenteeism." This is another example of the fallacy of
false cause, as it assumes a causal relationship between two things without considering other
factors that may have contributed to the decrease in absenteeism.
3. "Every time I see a black cat, something bad happens. Therefore, black cats are bad luck." This is a
third example of the fallacy of false cause, as it assumes a causal relationship between two
unrelated events without any evidence to support it.
4. "Since I switched to this new brand of shampoo, my hair has been growing faster. Therefore, the
shampoo is causing my hair to grow faster." This is yet another example of the fallacy of false
cause, as it assumes a causal relationship between two things without considering other factors
that may have contributed to the change in hair growth.

Democratic Party is a criminal enterprise without providing any evidence to support

another example of the fallacy of question begging epithet, as it assumes that the
religious group is dangerous and radical without providing any evidence to support
that claim.
3. "Why do you insist on being part of the intellectually bankrupt academic elite?" This
is a third example of the fallacy of question begging epithet, as it assumes that the
academic elite is intellectually bankrupt without providing any evidence to support
that claim.

This is yet another example of the fallacy of question begging epithet, as it assumes
that all corporate executives are greedy and heartless without providing any
evidence to support that claim.
