A syllogistic argument in which a term is distributed in the conclusion, but not in the premises. One of the rules for a valid categorical syllogism is that if either term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises. A demand for a simple answer to a complex question. An argument to reject a proposition because of the falsity of some other proposition that seems to be a consequence of the first, but really is not. An argument in which the conclusion is not a necessary consequence of the premises.
P is true, because P is true.
P is true, because A is true. And A is true because B is true. And B is true because P is true. This argument resembles a fallacy known as a Hasty Generalization. An argument of the syllogistic form in which there occur four or more terms.
