Fallacy

A fallacy is a flaw or error in reasoning that can make an argument seem convincing but is actually invalid or misleading. It often occurs when the logic is flawed, the evidence is misused, or the conclusion doesn’t logically follow from the premises. Fallacies can be intentional, used to persuade despite poor reasoning, or unintentional, due to misunderstanding. Recognizing fallacies helps you evaluate arguments more critically and avoid being misled by faulty logic. They are common in discussions, debates, and advertising, and understanding them improves your ability to think clearly and make better decisions.
