- This is a quick explanation of what an Argument from Ignorance fallacy is. If there is interest I will create videos discussing other types of logical fallacies.
ERRATA:
Although not an error, I would like to state another angle on the jelly bean example:
If I am not convinced that the number of jelly beans in the jar is EVEN, it is important to understand that it doesn't imply that I believe the number to be ODD.
Although not an error, I would like to state another angle on the jelly bean example:
One might also point out how often people equivocate between the descriptive use of a word and the normative use of a word (like the word "ignorance" for example). This observation in no way has any bearing on the fallacy itself but rather it speaks to people's objection to the term "ignorance".
THIS HELPED A LOT!!! THANKS A MIL!
I've had a few arguments where I've given evidence as to what I'm saying because of the implication that is left by what has been shown but the person I'm arguing with insist that it doesn't count because it's not a direct statement this is from a show where I also said that not everything in the show is meant to be displayed directly and that you are meant to pick up on implications left by the author.
Very underrated video
Wow.. thx so much!!
Thanks
Could there be exceptions? Say, ones conviction of a claim is proportionate to their confidence that such a thing does not exist, backed by a lack of evidence. (ie Faeries don’t exist). While still a positive claim, one must take a pragmatic approach to assume absolutes aren’t necessarily involved.
Ignorance and incredulity are bad words. I also used some time ago "argument from ignorance" in one place and my response was removed as offensive.
