The economy continues to grow as the number of “likes” on my Instagram account continue to increase. Clearly, the two are linked*
A) Hasty Generalization: An inference drawn from insufficient evidence.
B) Ad Hominem: In Latin, this means to the man. When you attach a person’s character instead of the quality of his/her ideas. Tu quoque is a specific type of ad hominem when you basically call someone a hypocrite instead of debating his/her ideas.
C) Straw Man: misrepresenting or twisting someone’s argument so it’s easier to attack and knock down.
D) Faulty Causality: Incorrect assumption that one event caused another event. Correlation does not imply causation.
