When fallacious vs not fallacious

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

When is an appeal to motive a valid argument, can we have examples of both a correct and an incorrect appeal to motive? How does one prove motive? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:90E:A200:B935:53EC:B5FA:423 (talk) 20:26, 12 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Ukraine example

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'd like to suggest that the Ukraine example used in the article might no be ideal. It is obviously a reference to Trump, and while it may be accurate, there are surely other equally apt examples that do not inject politics into the equation. Again, I'm not questioning the accuracy of the statement, just suggesting we'd be better served by keeping politics out of articles that aren't political in nature. 2601:18F:4101:4830:2CCF:D30A:BD57:F5FA (talk) 05:54, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Statistical association

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The first example of the fallacy, about ACME and advertising, says literally "they were *probably* biased". While the advertisement is surely not *proof* of bias, the posterior *probability* of bias is certainly increased, meaning the statement is not fallacious.
