Get the Fandom Over Freedom Fallacy mug.Broken rung fallacy.
'This rung is broken... therefore I must climb higher up the ladder!'
When true logic is going back to ground level and starting everything over the right way.
This occurs when someone is so focused on a goal - they push for said goal passed the point of reason.
Usually accompanied with rhetoric such as "there's no going back!" and "if you want to make an omelette, you've got to break some eggs!" - to eliminate 'going back to ground level' as an option.
The ladder always collapses. The farther they've pushed - the more dangerous the crash back down.

Example 1: "Workers need the cheaper goods" is a broken rung fallacy. If the jobs aren't sent over seas in the first place - they can afford the better goods.
Example 2: "Millions of women's lives would be ruined without abortions" is a broken rung fallacy. If our society doesn't encourage promiscuity in the first place - there isn't millions of women pregnant out of wedlock, in the first place.
Example 3: "Neither of us knew our fathers - so we're taking our mother's names" is a broken rung fallacy. Guaranteed both come from nontraditional families - and going farther down this path is just ensuring more broken homes.

Get the The Male Gets the Female Fallacy mug.Sloppy logic; a wordplay on the term fellatio, "fallacio" refers to an argument so patently based on false premises and defended with fallacious thinking, even a fool would know it sucks.
"Your defense of your point, which consisted of ad-hominem and strawman arguments, demonizing, and refutation by ridicule, was an obvious example of fallacio."

Get the fallacio mug.For starters, fallacy means a flawed truth. Fallacy of composition means a flawed assumption of truth.
I read heard it this way...
Think crowded baseball game. You can't see because of the guy in front of you. If you stand up, then you can see. However, the fallacy of composition is that if EVERYBODY stands up, nobody can see the game any clearer than if they were all sitting down.
