What is fallacy?
A fallacy is the use of erroneous or otherwise flawed thinking, or "wrong moves,"[1] in the development of an argument which, if the fallacy is not identified, may appear stronger than it actually is. The Aristotelian De Sophisticis Elenchis is where the phrase was first used in the Western intellectual tradition.
Some fallacies may be purposely committed in an effort to trick someone or influence them. Others may occur accidentally as a result of carelessness, cognitive or social biases, ignorance, or, possibly, as a result of the inherent limitations of language and linguistic comprehension.
A logical fallacy, often known as a mistake in thinking that undermines an argument or a trick of the mind employed as a debate strategy, is the fallacy of composition. It happens when people wrongly believe that a whole's and its pieces' attributes may be transferred from one to the other.
