- {{black or white}}:
Logical Fallacy: Black-or-White—The author presents two alternative states as the only two possibilities, when more possibilities exist.
- {{composition-division}}:
Logical Fallacy: Composition/Division—The author assumed that one part of something had to be applied to everything.
- {{false cause}}:
Logical Fallacy: False Cause—The author assumes that a real or perceived relationship between two events means that one caused the other.
- {{special pleading}}:
Logical Fallacy: Special Pleading—The author creates a one-sided argument by including favorable data and excluding unfavorable data through improper means. In this case, the author "moved the goalpost" by changing his argument when his original claim was shown to be false.
- {{strawman}}:
Logical Fallacy: Strawman—The author sets up a weakened or caricatured version of the opponent's argument. The author then proceeds to demolish the weak version of the argument, and claim victory.
