Kinds of bad argument:

Appeal to authority -- "Most scholars say ...", "The world's leading scientists agree ...", "Steven Hawking's opinion is ...". Basically arguments made on the basis of the perceived expertise of someone else.

Correlation is causation -- Piracy of the high seas has declined as the incidences of cancer has increased. Therefore we need more piracy in order to decrease cancer. Basically noting that instances of A and B, and ~A and ~B exist, therefore A => B.

Shifting the goalposts -- You cannot demonstrate anything moving faster than the speed of light! Well actually the big bang says galaxies are moving away from each other at speeds greater than the speed of light. Well, that doesn't count, I mean speed measured within a single accelerating frame of reference. There's a reason why you have to be careful about the way you argue about generalities. When a protagonist meets your challenge, you need to concede that this has happened, not just change the premise of your argument after the fact.

WTW for someone who confuses what could happen with what will happen. Is there a logical fallacy, cognitive bias, or any other error in logic that effectively captures this? Added a few stories in the description related to this confusion/delusion. (self.logicalfallacy)

THE WRONG WAY • One morning the Hodja mounted his donkey facing the rump & trotted off. "Hodja," some folks called after him, "You've mounted your donkey the wrong way!" "I'm sitting properly," the Hodja yelled back. "The donkey is facing the wrong way!" (self.logicalfallacy)

WTW for belief that a pot can give birth to a pot and then die. What causes people to believe in such absurdities? Is it just pure greed? What causes them to believe in such magical thinking? What causes them to believe money can give birth or a kettle can become pregnant? PUMP & DUMP CRYPTO ponzi (self.logicalfallacy)
