Yes those are dictionary's for definitions of words not a repository of debate tactics; if you'd checked you'd also notice that there's no entry for "motte and bailey falacy", "Appeal to Ignorance" or "appeal to authority"; funnily enough it doesnt prevent those existing either.

    Well yes if you purely limit yourself to a single college of liberal arts list of definitions then you won't, however search engines are your friend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies And desperately clinging to any page-not-found of whatever website you can find to display it isn't exactly the most secure display of debate.

      Ah yes, Wikipedia, with one source form a libertarian propaganda rag. Very reputable. Nobody but libertarians looking for excuses for racism use that term, deal with it.

        And at last you've taken my advice > Using a kafkatrap against an opponent you can't beat in debate when they have just pointed out the tactic is probably ill advised; perhaps try something else; Ad hominem or motte and bailey for example. Allow my to quote from one your trusted sources: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/logic_in_argumentative_writing/fallacies.html https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/... > Ad hominem: This is an attack on the character of a person rather than his or her opinions or arguments.

        Feel free to provide me wrong by showing a non-libertarian source that takes this term seriously.

        Appeal to authority (points for variety at least) is a logical fallacy that I literally pointed out earlier.
        DagAgren 6y ago
        You really don't understand how logical fallacies work at all, do you.
        textgel 6y ago
        Well I must admit I haven't had as much practice at them as you have.
