Argumentative Fallacies

Deductive reasoning is stating a series of valid relationships with a
reasonable conclusion.
When it rains the streets get wet.
It is raining.
Therefore the streets are wet.[1]

Several reasoning fallacies exist: (1)formal deductive fallacies,
which occur because of an error in the form of the argument, and (2)
informal false content fallacies.

(1) A formal deductive fallacy might switch a premise with the
conclusion:

The streets are wet.
When it rains the streets get wet.
Therefore it is raining.

This conclusion is fallacious because there are other reasons that
could have caused the street to be wet: snow melt, a street sweeper,
etc.

(2) Several informal false content fallacies are:
Logic errors:

* The "straw man" deception.

This is deceptive attack on an opponents position using a similar but
different position.

"The President states that he is a 'Peace' president, but will help
those in need. No doubt he will withdraw the NATO peace keeping force
from Bosnia and send them to Somalia to assist with the famine
relief."

What the president meant to say was that he will seek all reasonable
diplomatic solutions to international aggression but will not abandon
international treaties and will assist other nations with military
forces.

* The "false dilemma" deception.

This deception often presents an argument so horrible that it is an
unacceptable alternative, and the speaker's argument is presented as
the only alternative.

"Ebola virus has been accidentally released in Merryman Corporation
research facility in Maryland. One way to destroy it is to drop a
nuclear bomb on the facility. Another alternative is to accept the
proposal of the Paladin Corporation to take over supervision of the
contract granted to the Merryman Corporation. Paladin estimates that
they can decontaminate it with lethal gas for a mere ten million
dollars."

* The "domino theory" deception.
