(2) Several informal false content fallacies are: LOGIC ERRORS:
* The "STRAW MAN" deception.
This is deceptive attack on an opponents position using a similar but different position.
"The President states that he is a 'Peace' president, but will help those in need. No doubt he will withdraw the NATO peace keeping force from Bosnia and send them to Somalia to assist with the famine relief."
What the president meant to say was that he will seek all reasonable diplomatic solutions to international aggression but will not abandon international treaties and will assist other nations with military forces.
* The "FALSE DILEMMA" deception.
This deception often presents an argument so horrible that it is an unacceptable alternative, and the speaker's argument is presented as the only alternative.
"Ebola virus has been accidentally released in Merryman Corporation research facility in Maryland. One way to destroy it is to drop a nuclear bomb on the facility. Another alternative is to accept the proposal of the Paladin Corporation to take over supervision of the contract granted to the Merryman Corporation. Paladin estimates that they can decontaminate it with lethal gas for a mere ten million dollars."
* The "DOMINO THEORY" deception.
The domino theory deception makes the claim that if one thing happens another will invariably follow.
