klasskru [66]

Although it can be persuasive, a logical fallacy is detrimental to an argument.

This fallacy consists in arguing that a conclusion is false because an argument given for it is bad. There are two main ways for an argument to be bad:

- At least one of the reasons given for the conclusion is bad―that is, false.
