A false premise isn't a logical fallacy. Arguments can be logically valid yet wrong, and vice versa.

- tashi 10y agoRight, and taking a premise you believe to be false and mapping out its consequences has a long and noble history; e.g., non-Euclidean geometry.
- paulddraper 10y agoOkay then...if not a logical fallacy, then just a fallacy ("mistaken belief"). The sort of prognostication that would do poorly on a debate team, because its premises are unsound.
