Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

Begging the question (assuming it is not agreed that he lie about what was said).

It's a loaded question (pseudo-logical) fallacy because as it begs for an apology it assumes the person was lying. If s/he says yes it confirms
s/he was lying. If s/he says no it suggests s/he is an unapologetic liar. |
