3"What kind of fallacy is it when you ask someone where they would like to eat and they say "anywhere" ?
The answer is not fallacious - it is simply evasive. It could also be a way of saying "I don't know."
It could be they really do not care and are leaving it up to you.
The kind that's not a fallacy :)
One could be pedantic and say "Oh, you want to eat at the fertilizer plant?" But it is clear what is implied—the person is flexible when it comes to dining options. This could be considered a linguistic heuristic , which makes communication easier and more efficient.
