Person 2 is banking on the assumption that if 2 words are different from each other, they describe different concepts. This ignores the possibility that they could be synonymous terms. If they are synonyms, then the premise is false. E.g. "furious" and "livid" are both phrases used to refer to extreme anger. This is less to do with fallacies and more to do with incorrect information. |

Without knowing what X and Y is it would be hard to say if it is a fallacy or not. Sometimes different words have the same meaning sometimes they do not. |

Ambiguous assertion. The subterfuge is intentional. |
