Fallacy

Instead of using them declerative (to the annoyance of the person who can tell you aren't using it correctly), at least use it as a question: "Hey, isn't that an argument from authority?"A more knowledgeable person may be able to explain to you if that's the case.In fact, e.g. an argument from authority isn't always something that's "only bad" or "only wrong," as anyone with an "education" beyond a certain level will know.GE, 22. Maí, 2020.
Somewhat synonymous with ‘trick’ and ‘deception’. Late 15c., "deception, false statement," from Latin fallere "to trip, cause to fall;" figuratively "to deceive, trick, dupe, cheat, elude; fail, be lacking or defective." [EtymO. d18]
"A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is." W.r.d18
