>ur argument bad hehehe
>dude wtf why are you defending your argument
your argument was bad, but that doesnt mean it was wrong
theres a difference between an argument being sound and an argument being incorrect
Definition of a liberal
its logic 101
dont get so defensive
I'm not going to take argument advice from a teenager who lives in the west
Im not a teenager, you're just getting defensive and lashing out because I attacked the soundness of your argument
I didnt disprove it or claim you were wrong
I can't even call you comrade
if you want to be persuasive, you need to understand logical reasoning
"anecdotal evidence is just not good in an argument
if you go to a gas station every day for a week
and three times that week it gets robbed while you're there
you might get the impression your town is infested with crime
but if that gas station is the only place that got robbed, and your town has lower crime rates than every town around it"
>I'm not a teenager
That's just an anecdote hurr durr
no, its more of an adhom on your part
You can make a fallacy c out of literally anything
no, just the stuff thats fallacious
Argument from fallacy (also known as the fallacy fallacy) – assumption that if an argument for some conclusion is fallacious, then the conclusion is false. Base rate fallacy – making a probability judgment based on conditional probabilities, without taking into account the effect of prior probabilities.
sure, where was I incorrect?
ok, am I wrong in claiming that anecdotal evidence is fallacious?
or that adhoms are fallacious?
Strawmen fallacy
no, I didnt misrepresent your argument
I asked you for clarification
my argument is that your anecdotal argument isnt a good argument
so Im asking if I am incorrect
or rather, is your argument that I am incorrect?
My argument is that it's 3 am and I'm going to bed instead of arguing with a teenager on discord on how to structure an argument
so if yes, the question is, well is it that anecdotal evidence is actually not fallacious? or did you not actually use anecdotal evidence?
because I would argue you did indeed use anecdotal evidence, and anecdotal evidence is generally agreed to be fallacious
Your argument is irrelevant
so I would conclude I did not make a fallacy fallacy
Conclude whatever you want
in fact, I made sure to avoid the fallacy fallacy by saying your argument might still be correct even if it is unsound since its foundation was anecdotal
I can conclude that you're putting too much thought into this
When I was your age I was partying
its just basic logical reasoning
oh dont worry, Im still partying between studying logical reasoning
Btw I see your a fan of the red on black
