    Default Re: Logical Fallacies: a Study

    I for one will compliment your list of fallacies. Great job!!

    But if I should add some constructive criticism I would want you to clarify the Non Sequitur section of your post. The randomness is less common. The more common fallacy of this type is the use of false conclusions to valid premises.
    Also if you are going to expand your list I would have added these fallacies:

    Red Herring
    Petitio principii(Begging the question)
    Ad hominem Tu quoque (you too)
    Argumentum ad antiquitatem (appeal to tradition)
    Argumentum ad numerum (Appeal to numbers)

    A while ago I tried to introduce formal debates to the orgahs. We had a few articles in the gahzette about this and we tried to organize a few real formal debates with referees, where the best one was published in the gahzette. Sadly it was only a brief spark before it died.
    Link to the first gahzette article (It is the Backroom article).
