Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

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. |

Ambiguous assertion. The subterfuge is intentional. |
