In a study by Briol and Petty, participants were exposed to strong or weak arguments on a topic while either shaking their heads or nodding their heads. A person would be more persuaded if they were shaking their head while listening to a flimsy argument.
Not all fallacious are inherently weak arguments. Because it is unfounded, an argument may be poor. Solving a mathematical equation is a classic example; if you made a mistake in the proof, it would not be regarded as "weak argument," just invalid. Because you only need to check for logical mistakes throughout the deductive process, invalid arguments are frequently simpler to identify.
A weak argument can't be flawed if it is based on untrue premises. For instance, "Video game playing encourages violent behaviour. This person spends a lot of time playing video games, so violence is probably in their future. The weak argument that playing video games is associated with violence is false, thus even though the argument is compelling, it is still flawed.
