Rule reminder

Common logical fallacies in Italian argumentative texts include: UOMO DI PAGLIA (strawman) — misrepresenting the opponent's position; AD HOMINEM — attacking the person rather than the argument; PENDENZA SCIVOLOSA (slippery slope) — claiming one event inevitably leads to extreme consequences; APPELLO ALL'AUTORITÀ (appeal to authority) — using authority as the sole evidence; GENERALIZZAZIONE AFFRETTATA (hasty generalisation) — drawing broad conclusions from insufficient cases; FALSA DICOTOMIA (false dilemma) — presenting only two options when more exist.
