Logical Fallacies used in the School
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2012 11:10 am
This is a neat little website I came across: http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/
It lists some common logical fallacies people tend to use when arguing. Going through the list I was struck by just how many of them are used by School tutors/leaders to justify their points of view.
Clicking each tab on the site will bring up a more detailed explanation and an accompanying example so you can see how these things work in practice.
"False cause", "Personal Incredulity", and "Ambiguity" particularly stood out for me.
