Fallacies Bigfoot

Type

Definition

Example

Appeal to Consequences

A proposition is true because belief in it leads to good things or it is untrue because that belief will lead to bad things.

AS A "CHRISTIAN", AND A BELIEVER IN (JESUS CHRIST), I DON'T THINK IT WOULD WE BE WISE FOR ME TO LIE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THIS IS THE, "GOD's" HONEST TRUTH.

Misleading Vividness

A Hasty Generalization that relies on the availability heuristic (we generalize from vivid stories more readily).

I'VE NEVER, EVER, SMOKED ANYTHING, NEVER HAD AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE, OR EVER TAKEN A DRUG, BESIDES WHAT DOCTOR PRESCRIBED.

THE REASON WHY I'M TELLING MY STORY NOW IS BECAUSE, EVERY-NOW-AND-THEN, I STILL HAVE "FLASH BACKS" OF THIS AND I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. IT'S BEEN BOTHERING ME SO BAD LATELY, THAT I HAD TO GET ON-LINE AND DO A SEARCH ON THIS TO SEE IF ANYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. WE'RE TALKING 15 YEARS AGO AND THIS IS STILL FREAKING ME OUT! ANYWAYS, THIS IS HOW I FOUND YOUR SITE

WE'RE SO FOR SURE ABOUT WHAT WE SAW ,THAT WE WILL TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST. 


Accent

The way you emphasize a word makes the conclusion seem more true.

IT WAS LIKE HE MOVED IN SLOW MOTION, IT WAS REALLY CRAZY!!!
