Fallacies are bad arguments that are usally unrepairable or violate the Principle of Rational discussion. There are three types of fallacy types. The three fallacies consist of content fallacies, structural fallacies and violations of the principle of rational discussion. There are different content fallacies. Many arguments provide confusing objective and subjective claims, false dilemma, slippery slope and etc. Some of the fallacies with violating the principle of rational discussion happen when an argument begs a question, cover claims that are dubious and etc. I will provide an example of when an argument begs a question.
DMV works hours are on Monday-Friday. DMV is open every third Saturday of the month as well. Today is the third Saturday of this month. Therefore, DMV is open this Saturday.
The premises are plausible and the premises are more plausible than the conclusion, but there is no reason to believe the statements are true. DMV opens every third Saturday and today is the third Saturday, but how do we know if the electricy shorted out. Is this Satuday a holdiay?
