NOT all fallacies are hard to spot. Its as simple as elephants are animals so that means your a animals. That makes you an elephants. All fallacies come down to bad logic. It all starts with audience and what they know and believe which is the commonplace . You have to apply it to particular parts of your situations to prove your conclusions. In deduction serves as your proof and in induction serves examples. To see whether fallacies lies hidden in an argument you have to ask yourself these three questions.
1. Does you proof hold up?
2. Am I given the right number of choices?
3.Dose the proof lead to the conclusion?
There could be a 4th question you can ask yourself which is
4.Who cares?
There is one big difference between formal logic and the art of persuasion which is their attittudes toward the rules.
Bad proof : includes three sins false comparison , bad examples, and ignorance as proof
wrong number of choices: merging one or two issues into one ,offering just two choices when more are available.
Disconnect between proof and conclusion:when your proof and conclusion are identical .having a sneaky distraction between the proof and conclusion.
