What is a Logical Fallacy?
Before one can establish what a logical fallacy is, one must understand what a logical argument looks like. Generally, an argument has two parts: a premise (or premises) and a conclusion. A conclusion is a claim being made, and the premises are the support for that conclusion.
There are two major types of logical reasoning: deductive and inductive. Deductive reasoning is such that, if the premises are true, the conclusionmust be true. It also moves from general cases to specific ones.
