RE: Logical Fallacies Part VIII

in #philosophy6 years ago

I realize logical fallacies sounds nice as a title, but some of these things listed aren't really fallacies. I'm not saying the short blurbs themselves aren't interesting or that the information isn't accurate, just that the title itself is a bit misleading.

For example, the Dunning-Kruger effect is more a psychological state of self delusion, excessive pride, and closed mindedness rather than a fallacy. We don't call Stockholm's syndrome a fallacy just because it can also easily lead to making incorrect assumptions.

Sort:  

Well technically it can be considered and informal fallacy. That can be many things including biases and states of mind.

The main point is it is still something to be wary of in debates
