Avoid fallacies in your logic:
  • False arguments from incomplete thinking or deliberate omissions
  • Bare assertions unsupported by facts.
  • Circular reasoning where you assume the point you need to prove.
  • Oversimplification
  • Either/Or statements
  • Complex questions that cover up the real issue
  • Strawman fallacies where the writer argues against a claim that is easily refuted
