Ten Logical Fallacies: A Song for the Season

Posted on November 28, 2024November 28, 2024 By E Pictetus 1 Comment on Ten Logical Fallacies: A Song for the Season

(sing to the tune of “12 Days of Christmas”; single page version here)

In the first conversation, there was a fallacy:
A false dichotomy.

In the second conversation, there was a fallacy:
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the third conversation, there was a fallacy:
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the fourth conversation, there was a fallacy:
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the fifth conversation, there was a fallacy:
Ad hominem!
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the sixth conversation, there was a fallacy:
Six red herrings,
Ad hominem!
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the seventh conversation, there was a fallacy:
Begging the question,
Six red herrings,
Ad hominem!
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the eighth conversation, there was a fallacy:
Confirmation bias,
Begging the question,
Six red herrings,
Ad hominem!
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the ninth conversation, there was a fallacy:
Poisoning the well,
Confirmation bias,
Begging the question,
Six red herrings,
Ad hominem!
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.

In the tenth conversation, there was a fallacy:
Correlation’s not causation,
Poisoning the well,
Confirmation bias,
Begging the question,
Six red herrings,
Ad hominem!
Ad populum,
Three straw men,
Tu quoque,
And a false dichotomy.
