Logic is the process by which statements are supported with adequate proof by being tested against the right amount and kind of evidence.

Logical fallacies are flaws in reasoning.

Based on poor or faulty logic.

There are many different kinds of fallacies and knowing them all by name will help you recognize when an argument doesn't make sense.

It is worth knowing the most common fallacies so that you can check for and avoid them in your arguments.

Why should you avoid logical fallacies?
