text: A false dilemma (also known as a false dichotomy) is a logical fallacy which involves presenting two opposing views, options or outcomes in such a way that they seem to be the only possibilities: that is, if one is true, the other must be false, or, more typically, if you do not accept one then the other must be accepted.
text: Sometimes called the “either-or” fallacy, a false dilemma is a logical fallacy that presents only two options or sides when there are many options or sides.
text: However, note that since the term ‘disjunction’ refers to situations where there are only two options being presented (i.e. a dichotomy), it does not apply in situations where a false dilemma presents three or more options.
