Fallacies [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | If you produce a smokescreen by bringing up an irrelevant issue, then you produce a red herring fallacy. |
 | | There is no recipe to follow in distinguishing smokescreens from reasonable appeals to caution and care. |
 | | Special pleading is a form of inconsistency in which the reasoner doesn't apply his or her principles consistently. |
