    Facts:
    1) any woman with a taco in her purse is statistically not likely to pick up guys.
    2) A woman eating Taco Bell is VERY unlikely to look like either of these women.
    3) These two women probably rarely (if ever) eat anything that nutritionally even resembles Taco Bell.
    Moral to ladies: if you think finding a man requires eating fast food, you're going to attract the type of men who think eating fast food is actually a good thing.

    3 minutes into this video, there is a Sony ad that demonstrates appeals to authority fallacy. The fallacy occurs when the customer is talking to the guy that works at the store as she is trying to figure out the difference between the cameras. It then switches to a panel of celebrities and Nigel suggests that she could get a Sony camera to get the best shot, then Justin then agrees. The customer then asks Justin what he knows about cameras and he responds with “really?”. I think the fallacy occurs here because Justin is no experts in regard to cameras, even though he is photographed a lot and in the media.

    • @ilke3192
      @ilke3192 4 роки тому

      And even if he were an expert on cameras, the brand he claims is the best wouldn't be best just because he, being an expert, claims it is; but at least it would be appeal to authority I guess.

      @@kwakugyebi6705 I see. What I meant with my earlier comment was that even if the authority has expertise on that specific field, just quoting them still shouldn't be justification of any arguments. To me, it literally sounds like "This is true because X said so." instead of revealing *why* that X says so, X being the authority with expertise on the topic. I think people are confusing between providing the reasons that make the experts support a claim, with only stating that some experts support a claim. It became quite annoying for me especially during the covid pandemic, where people just throw misinformation around claiming some expert said it without even attempting to give any scientific explanation or any explanation for that matter.

    • @andreainzaghi7373
      @andreainzaghi7373 4 роки тому

      yet Obama's reply is not a logical fallacy ad hominem because he does not dismiss the claim attacking the person but he dismisses the claim on the ground of a specific lack of knowledge in that specific field, your statement is instead a logical fallacy: Obama never dismissed Sarah's claim on the ground of his expertize he never said that. . Besides, Sarah's claim was NOT SPECIFIC so it was impossible to confutate specifically. If Sarah' s accusation would have been specific, than Obama would not be forced to give a general answer questioning Sarah's expertise. Obama, in short, did not specifically reject Sarahs' argument because Sarah DID NOT put across any argument.

  • @andreainzaghi7373
    @andreainzaghi7373 4 роки тому +5

    2:20 you made a mistake, Obama's response is not an ad hominem, that is because Obama is not attacking the person but he is questioning the expertize of that person in that precise field. If someone refuse to discuss quantum physics with an illitterate person, that is not a logical fallacy

    • @bensmith9253
      @bensmith9253 4 роки тому +1

      I disagree. I believe Palin made a valid deductive argument using a metaphor, the premises of which were stated and the conclusion implied. She is arguing that IF you say that you will not retaliate to violence THEN people (and by analogy -nations) will attack you.
      Obama didn't counter her argument - perhaps by suggesting that she has made a Hasty Generalization fallacy or a Faulty/Weak Analogy. Instead he suggested that the argument is flawed because of an intrinsic property of the arguer, an Ad Hominem.

    Your choice for an ad hominem was pretty good. I like Obama, but he did use an ad hominem there. It wasn’t to dodge the question though, because I’m sure Obama could talk about that policy decision for three hours, but Sarah Palin doesn’t deserve three hours of television time. If the PM of the UK had said it - it would probably merit a proper response. Obama can’t spend all his time explaining policy to people who can’t understand anyway. He was actually being restrained because Sarah Palin has no interest in foreign policy other than what others tell her. The only way Palin would even understand the explanation is if she had a decent grasp of history - which she doesn’t.

    The slippery slope example is not correct.
    Slippery slope fails to join the dots, allows listeners to do the joining by referring to their prejudices, and does not establish a causal link between beginning and end. However the advert established every single point. Thus, not a slippery slope.

    • @AoRHorlickAmbassadors
      @AoRHorlickAmbassadors 5 років тому +1

      The example is a slippery slope as the first action does not lead to the conclusion ultimately. The connection between the concepts in the middle can, and usually will connect from one thing to the next, which is why people tend to believe this logic even though it is clearly errored.
