Improving Your Thinking
- Everyone is familiar with the scene in which a lawyer objects that the other side is “leading the witness” in a courtroom examination. What fallacy is being committed? Why is it pernicious in this context? Explain.
- What is the fallacy of black-and-white thinking? Why is it a fallacy? Explain first by providing your own example of the phenomenon and second by explaining how things could go better if the fallacy were not committed.
- Give your own example of a revelatory definition and explain why it is correct.
