[Dave Ellis]

thats a red herring

This is just getting funny now.....

Ok, how is this a red herring?

 

[Dave Ellis]

no need, the evidence is in the pudding.

Ok, then please provide your pudding so we can examine your evidence.

So far, you have given none.

 

[Dave Ellis]

actually fallacies are innacuracies within the argument

No, they aren't....

I'm wondering how we can get the subject back on track/



.

Non sequitur!!

 

[quatona]

that is a red herring, avoiding the issue.

For the determining whether an argument is an ad hominem or not the question about the difference between the person and her argument is substantial, since an ad hominem is defined as the attack on the person (as opposed to the attack on the argument).

"Argumentum ad populum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Bandwagon Fallacy)

In logic, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or most people believe it. In other words, the basic idea of the argument is: "If many believe so, it is so."
This type of argument is known by several names,[1] including appeal to the masses, appeal to belief, appeal to the majority, argument by consensus, consensus fallacy, authority of the many, and bandwagon fallacy, and in Latin as argumentum ad numerum ("appeal to the number"), and consensus gentium ("agreement of the clans"). It is also the basis of a number of social phenomena, including communal reinforcement and the bandwagon effect. The Chinese proverb "three men make a tiger" concerns the same idea."

Why do you Buddhists even come to a Christian website?

Not that I've been on this thread for a week or two, but I'm assuming that gradyll still hasn't provided either a cogent argument to support to his beliefs, or learnt how to identify a logical fallacy properly.

I see your fallacy finding skills are no better than my own.

I see your sarcasm identification skills are on a par with your fallacy identification skills.

No, they aren't....

generally they are except ad hominems which are against the person.

Apparently your joke detecting skills are on the same level as your logical fallacy finding skills....

No.... It's not.

No, a logical fallacy is an error in reasoning. An inaccuracy within an argument would imply some of your information is factually incorrect.
