A common fallacy I see, though I don't know if there's a name for it, is assuming that just because what someone is doing can be described by the name of a fall

A common fallacy I see, though I don't know if there's a name for it, is assuming that just because what someone is doing can be described by the name of a fallacy that what the person is doing is fallacious.
- travisjungroth 6y ago> Argument from fallacy is the formal fallacy of analyzing an argument and inferring that, since it contains a fallacy, its conclusion must be false. It is also called argument to logic (argumentum ad logicam), the fallacy fallacy, the fallacist's fallacy, and the bad reasons fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy
- dabbernaught420 6y agoI'm talking about situations where no fallacy has actually occurred, not situations where a fallacy has occurred but a correct conclusion has been arrived at anyway.
- kd5bjo 6y agoThat’d be a form of equivocation: the accuser is using an incorrect definition of the fallacy, instead of the true one.
- travisjungroth 6y agoI see what you mean. Just because you’re saying a person has a bad history doesn’t mean your committing an “ad hominem”. That seems different.
- the_cramer 6y agoSo what does any fallacy tell me then? Especially the fallacy fallacy? If it does invalidate the invalidation of fallacies it is in itself untrue...bz...recursion error..bz stack overflow
- dimitrios1 6y agoIt's unironically called the fallacy fallacy.
