FALLACIES OF UNCLARITY

its premises, whether they are true or false, don't support its conclusion.
1. SLIPPERY SLOPES: depend on small changes
ARGUMENT FROM THE HEAP, Sorites arg--> one penny, two pennies, etc.: all poor
1. comes from Principle of Math Induction
2. IS A PARADOX: an apparently valid argument from apparently true premises to an apparently FALSE conclusion
3. HAS VAGUENESS: there's no precise boundary between the cases to which that expression correctly applies and the cases to which it does not correctly apply.
  1. poor, bald, tall, accomplished, famous
4. ARG.FROM HEAP: all are poor; CONC. SLIP SLOP: no diff between rich-poor.
CONCEPTUAL SLIPPERY SLOPE FALLACY :vagueness - there's no significant difference between things that belong to that category and things that don't belong to that category --> "there's no significant difference between poor and being rich".
1. REMEMBER: a group can be powerful even if the individuals are not
  1. puede ser si-no o cuantitativo
2. FAIRNESS SLIP.SLOPE: unfair fallacy --> fail a test with 2,99
  1. People ask: where do you draw the line?
CAUSAL SLIP. SLOPE: domino argument or parade of horrors
AMBIGUITY: more than one acceptable interpretation (homonimos, sentences)
1. SEMANTIC AMBIGUITY: homonyms
2. SYNTACTIC AMBIGUITY: sentences
3. FALLACY OF EQUIVOCATION: applying ambiguity (man is the only rational animal - and women?)
