informal fallacies

Informal fallacies are errors in reasoning that occur due to flaws in the argument’s content or how it's presented, rather than its form. They often involve misleading logic, emotional appeals, or assumptions that seem persuasive but are flawed. For example, attacking the person instead of the argument (ad hominem) or assuming something is true because everyone believes it (bandwagon). Recognizing these fallacies helps us evaluate arguments more critically, ensuring that conclusions are based on sound reasoning and facts rather than faulty logic or emotional manipulation.
