Insisting that a claim is true simply because a valid authority or expert on the issue said it was true, without any other supporting evidence offered. an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument. diverting attention from the real issue by focusing instead on an issue having only a surface relevance to the first. sometimes called the “either-or” fallacy, a false dilemma is a logical fallacy that presents only two options or sides when there are many options or sides. an idea or course of action which will lead to something unacceptable, wrong, or disastrous. sometimes called the over-generalization fallacy. It is basically making a claim based on evidence that it just too small. argue that your conclusion must be true, because there is no evidence against it. This fallacy wrongly shifts the burden of proof away from the one making the claim. directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
