Appeal to misleading authority
|
This entire paper is based on movies
and books written by others. The author's main source is one Stephen Knight
who wrote "Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution". This book is a
legitimate source because there was a movie based off of it. The entire paper
is based off of this book and the movies that preceded it. Uri Dowbenko
relies strictly on this one authority to base his theory.
He also uses movies as evidence. Obviously if it happened in a movie
then it must be true. Of course if movies portray the masons as evil and
cruel people then they must have had a hand in the ripper murders. Also if
the royals can’t afford another scandal then of course they did it.

Bandwagon

So
Uri Dowbenko is a major bandwagoner! He basically read this book and then
watched this movie, loved the idea, decided they were right and he was going
to write an article about it! He has no legitimate proof to support his
argument. It is not even his own argument. There is no original thought in
the article. He only uses hasty generalizations made by others to make it
appear as if he has a case, which he does not!
|
Hasty
Generalization
|
So
Uri states that sense the Ripper case could not be solved it must have been a
cover up and since it was a cover up then it must have been the royals! This
is a load of trash. Just because the cops either were not smart enough or
didn’t care enough about five dead hookers to catch the killer does not mean
that it was a cover up and a royal one at that

Appeal
to Ignorance
|
He
also goes on to explain how these crimes were covered up but he has no facts
to basis his assumptions on. He simply just starts rambling off explanations.
