Question

The fallacy of __________ is arguing either that (1) a claim is true because it hasn't been proven false or (2) a claim is false because it hasn't been proven true.

Answer 1

Answer:

The fallacy of appeal to ignorance is arguing either that a claim is true because it hasn't been proven false or a claim is false because it hasn't been proven true.

Explanation:

• The trait of ignorance is often used in arguments to manipulate the facts and to turn them in favor of the parties involved by putting emphasis on alternative possibilities of the happenings.
• One such trait is to try justifying the feasibility of a point because the opposite of the point hasn't yet been proven to be true or false.
