Logical fallacy is an argument that may sound
convincing or true but is actually flawed or
deceptive in some way. A logical fallacy is an
argument that can be disproven through reasoning.

Slippery Slope
Asserting that if we allow A to happen, then Z
will consequently happen too, therefore A
should not happen.
36
Example:
37
Burden of Proof
Saying that the burden of proof lies not with the
person making the claim, but with someone else
to disprove.
38
Example:

Assuming that what is true about one part of
something had to be applied to all, or other
parts of it.
