This is an essential skill for the busin" rel="nofollow">iness researcher. The irrelevant conclusion diverts the attention away from addressin" rel="nofollow">ing the claim in" rel="nofollow">in a dispute in" rel="nofollow">instead of analyzin" rel="nofollow">ing its content. This is also called a "red herrin" rel="nofollow">ing". There are a number of special cases of irrelevant conclusions. ? Appeal to authority ? Purely personal considerations ? Appeal to the majority or popular sentiment ? Appeal to loyalty ? Appeal to fear ? Appeal to pity -- aims at arousin" rel="nofollow">ing irrelevant pity for gettin" rel="nofollow">ing one's claim accepted. ? Appeal to ignorance -- forwards the proposition under dispute without any certain" rel="nofollow">in proof. ? Genetic fallacy -- assumes a perceived defect in" rel="nofollow">in the origin" rel="nofollow">in of a claim discredits the claim itself. Argument from ignorance – assumin" rel="nofollow">ing that a claim is true (or false) because it has not been proven false (true) or cannot be proven false (true). Argument from repetition – signifies that it has been discussed extensively until nobody cares to discuss it anymore. Argument from silence – where the conclusion is based on the absence of evidence, rather than the existence of evidence. Beggin" rel="nofollow">ing the question – the failure to provide what is essentially the conclusion of an argument as a premise, if so required. (shiftin" rel="nofollow">ing the) Burden of proof – I need not prove my claim, you must prove it is false. Circular reasonin" rel="nofollow">ing – when the reasoner begin" rel="nofollow">ins with what he or she is tryin" rel="nofollow">ing to end up with. Circular cause and consequence – where the consequence of the phenomenon is claimed to be its root cause. Contin" rel="nofollow">inuum fallacy – improperly rejectin" rel="nofollow">ing a claim for bein" rel="nofollow">ing imprecise. Correlation proves causation – a faulty assumption that correlation between two variables implies that one causes the other. Ecological fallacy – in" rel="nofollow">inferences about the nature of specific in" rel="nofollow">individuals are based solely upon aggregate statistics collected for the group to which those in" rel="nofollow">individuals belong. Etymological fallacy – which reasons that the origin" rel="nofollow">inal or historical meanin" rel="nofollow">ing of a word or phrase is necessarily similar to its actual present-day meanin" rel="nofollow">ing. Fallacy of composition – assumin" rel="nofollow">ing that somethin" rel="nofollow">ing true of part of a whole must also be true of the whole. Fallacy of division – assumin" rel="nofollow">ing that somethin" rel="nofollow">ing true of a thin" rel="nofollow">ing must also be true of all or some of its parts. False dilemma (false dichotomy, fallacy of bifurcation, black-or-white fallacy) – two alternative statements are held to be the only possible options, when in" rel="nofollow">in reality there are more. If-by-whiskey – an argument that supports both sides of an issue by usin" rel="nofollow">ing terms that are selectively emotionally sensitive. Fallacy of many questions (complex question, fallacy of presupposition, loaded question) – someone asks a question that presupposes somethin" rel="nofollow">ing that has not been proven or accepted by all the people in" rel="nofollow">involved. This fallacy is often used rhetorically, so that the question limits direct replies to those that serve the questioner's agenda. Ludic fallacy – the belief that the outcomes of a non-regulated random occurrences can be encapsulated by a statistic; a failure to take in" rel="nofollow">into account unknown unknowns in" rel="nofollow">in determin" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing the probability of an event's takin" rel="nofollow">ing place. Fallacy of the sin" rel="nofollow">ingle cause (causal oversimplification) – it is assumed that there is one, simple cause of an outcome when in" rel="nofollow">in reality it may have been caused by a number of only join" rel="nofollow">intly sufficient causes. False attribution – an advocate appeals to an irrelevant, unqualified, unidentified, biased or fabricated source in" rel="nofollow">in support of an argument. Fallacy of quotin" rel="nofollow">ing out of context – refers to the selective excerptin" rel="nofollow">ing of words from their origin" rel="nofollow">inal context in" rel="nofollow">in a way that distorts the source's in" rel="nofollow">intended meanin" rel="nofollow">ing. Argument to moderation (false compromise, middle ground, fallacy of the mean) – assumin" rel="nofollow">ing that the compromise between two positions is always correct. Gambler's fallacy – the in" rel="nofollow">incorrect belief that separate, in" rel="nofollow">independent events can affect the likelihood of another random event. If a coin" rel="nofollow">in flip lands on heads 10 times in" rel="nofollow">in a row, the belief that it is "due to land on tails" is in" rel="nofollow">incorrect. Historian's fallacy – occurs when one assumes that decision makers of the past viewed events from the same perspective and havin" rel="nofollow">ing the same in" rel="nofollow">information as those subsequently analyzin" rel="nofollow">ing the decision. (Not to be confused with presentism, which is a mode of historical analysis in" rel="nofollow">in which present-day ideas, such as moral standards, are projected in" rel="nofollow">into the past.) Inflation Of Conflict - The experts of a field of knowledge disagree on a certain" rel="nofollow">in poin" rel="nofollow">int, so the scholars must know nothin" rel="nofollow">ing, and therefore the legitimacy of their entire field is put to question. Incomplete comparison – where not enough in" rel="nofollow">information is provided to make a complete comparison. Inconsistent comparison – where different methods of comparison are used, leavin" rel="nofollow">ing one with a false impression of the whole comparison. Irrelevant conclusion, missin" rel="nofollow">ing the poin" rel="nofollow">int – an argument that may in" rel="nofollow">in itself be valid, but does not address the issue in" rel="nofollow">in question. Kettle logic – usin" rel="nofollow">ing multiple in" rel="nofollow">inconsistent arguments to defend a position. Min" rel="nofollow">ind projection fallacy – when one considers the way he sees the world as the way the world really is. Movin" rel="nofollow">ing the goalposts (raisin" rel="nofollow">ing the bar) – argument in" rel="nofollow">in which evidence presented in" rel="nofollow">in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded. Nirvana fallacy (perfect solution fallacy) – when solutions to problems are rejected because they are not perfect. Proof by verbosity ( proof by in" rel="nofollow">intimidation) – submission of others to an argument too complex and verbose to reasonably deal with in" rel="nofollow">in all its in" rel="nofollow">intimate details. Prosecutor's fallacy – a low probability of false matches does not mean a low probability of some false match bein" rel="nofollow">ing found. Psychologist's fallacy – an observer presupposes the objectivity of his own perspective when analyzin" rel="nofollow">ing a behavioral event. Red herrin" rel="nofollow">ing – a speaker attempts to distract an audience by deviatin" rel="nofollow">ing from the topic at hand by in" rel="nofollow">introducin" rel="nofollow">ing a separate argument which the speaker believes will be easier to speak to. Regression fallacy – ascribes cause where none exists. The flaw is failin" rel="nofollow">ing to account for natural fluctuations. It is frequently a special kin" rel="nofollow">ind of the post hoc fallacy. Retrospective determin" rel="nofollow">inism – the argument that because some event has occurred, its occurrence must have been in" rel="nofollow">inevitable beforehand. Shotgun argumentation - the arguer offers such a large number of arguments for their position that the opponent can't possibly respond to all of them. Special pleadin" rel="nofollow">ing – where a proponent of a position attempts to cite somethin" rel="nofollow">ing as an exemption to a generally accepted rule or prin" rel="nofollow">inciple without justifyin" rel="nofollow">ing the exemption. Wrong direction – cause and effect are reversed. The cause is said to be the effect and vice versa.
