Objective Truth Fallacy

A fallacy and metafallacy where one invokes "objective truth" not as a genuine commitment to inquiry but as a rhetorical weapon to legitimize their own worldview while delegitimizing all others. The fallacy lies in claiming that one's framework simply is objective reality, that one's conclusions are truth itself, and therefore that any alternative is not just wrong but unreal. It's a metafallacy because it preemptively immunizes one's position from critique—if you claim to speak for objective truth itself, then challenging you is challenging reality. The Objective Truth Fallacy transforms the legitimate pursuit of truth into a cudgel for intellectual domination, using the concept of objectivity to shut down inquiry rather than advance it.

Example: "He didn't argue that his view was supported by evidence—he claimed it was objective truth, and that anyone who disagreed was simply denying reality. Classic Objective Truth Fallacy: using the concept of truth to avoid having to demonstrate it."

Evidence-Based Fallacy

A fallacy and metafallacy where scientific evidence is invoked to justify positions that lie outside the proper domain of evidence—particularly bigotry, prejudice, racism, xenophobia, aporophobia (hatred of the poor), and other forms of discrimination. The fallacy operates by claiming that discriminatory policies or attitudes are "supported by evidence" (about crime rates, economic impacts, cultural differences) while ignoring that evidence never dictates values, that statistical patterns don't justify moral judgments, and that using evidence to justify oppression misuses the very concept of evidence. It's a metafallacy because it weaponizes the legitimate authority of science to defend what science cannot possibly justify—treating "evidence-based" as a blank check for any position that can find a supporting statistic, regardless of the values, ethics, and human consequences involved.

Example: "He cited crime statistics to justify housing discrimination—the Evidence-Based Fallacy in full flower, using numbers to launder prejudice while pretending that evidence alone could ever justify treating humans as less than human."

Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy

Fault-to-Ratio Fallacy
A phrase created by John R. Williams III in early 2024.

The fault-to-ratio fallacy refers to the mistaken reasoning where someone dismisses an individual’s entire set of beliefs or arguments simply because they hold one or a few demonstrably false or flawed views. This fallacy ignores the "ratio" of truths to faults, assuming that one error invalidates all other ideas or arguments, even if some of them are inherently correct or well-founded.

Example:
Person A: "I believe the Earth is flat, but I also believe that 2+2=4."
Person B: "Since you believe the Earth is flat, everything you say must be wrong."

Here, Person B commits the fault-to-ratio fallacy by rejecting Person A’s correct belief (2+2=4) because of their incorrect belief about the shape of the Earth. Instead of evaluating each idea on its own merit, they discredit all ideas based on one fault
