Spot the Fallacy: Diagnose This Argument

You have read something that feels wrong but you cannot put your finger on why. Paste the argument in and this names each fallacy, defines it in plain language, quotes the exact offending line, and explains how it undermines the case. Useful for marking essays, prepping a rebuttal, or just sharpening your own nose for bad reasoning.

Read the following argument and identify any logical fallacies present. For each fallacy you find, name it, explain what makes it a fallacy, and quote the specific part of the text where it occurs.

Argument to examine:
"{ARGUMENT_TEXT}"

For each fallacy identified:
1. State the fallacy name
2. Define it in plain language
3. Quote the offending passage
4. Explain why it undermines the argument's validity

Finish with a verdict: does the argument have any logically sound elements worth salvaging, or does it fail entirely?
