Anyone know this fallacy?"Professor, just between you and me, you’ve got to get rid of those remarkably ugly neckties you wear. No one with any class whatsoever wears ties like that."
Does anyone know what fallacy this could be? |

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

It's hardly a fallacy, and only a mere opinion. I suppose you could argue for an ad hominem (guilt by association).
Classless people wear ugly neckties Professor so and so wears ugly neckties Therefore Professor so and so is classless. |
