Fallacies

Fallacies affect how we communicate our thoughts and ideas with others. They are the use of faulty reasoning in the construction of arguments and can be used intentionally or unintentionally. The point of an argument is to persuade your audience into agreement with you, and if you can do this through the use of fallacies, then that is fair game. It should be noted, however, that using fallacious arguments opens you up to the potential of someone calling you out for your faulty reasoning. Tread carefully.
