Argument from fallacy is the formal fallacy of analyzing an argument and inferring that, since it contains a fallacy, its conclusion must be false.
its conclusion must be false
false
Sorry, defenders of irrationality: calling out an invalid argument (without claiming that implies a false conclusion) is not argument from fallacy. When someone points out your argument is flawed, fix it. 😎
Argument from authority (logic is an authority and we do not recognize its mandate to rule on this website)
Good joke: irrational people on this website certainly don't recognize much.
An argument from authority is a form of argument in which the opinion of an authority figure (or figures) who lacks relevant expertise is used as evidence to support an argument.
Logic is the study of methods for evaluating whether the premises of an argument adequately support its conclusion.
Definition doesn't apply: logic isn't "an authority" capable of bearing "opinion" or "expertise".
That's certainly logically true, and as such, I cannot accept it ;-)
That's not how one should use voting on lemmy. If the conclusion happens to be right but the reasoning is faulty, it's still a bad post.
Conversely, if the conclusion was wrong but it added value to the discussion, then it's still a good post.
First Incompleteness Theorem: "Any consistent formal system F within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out is incomplete; i.e. there are statements of the language of F which can neither be proved nor disproved in F." (Raatikainen 2020)
Ad memeier.
I always heard that name as "Al McHogan."
Either way, fuck supper.
Alma Cogan was a popular singer who had died recently when this was written. So kind of a 'too soon?' thing.
Ad baculum 🤔
Don't worry, they've got a cream for that now.
But if you start doing that, where will it end‽ You must be a bad person for doing this. No true Lemmy user would do it. Most people don't do this, it must be wrong. Has anyone asked what the admins think?
