Fallacy name for an erroneous notion that favor in the interest of one party indicates a disfavor or disadvantage to another party?In other words, the false assumption that love for some implies hate for others, preferences for some indicate disfavor to others or gain to some indicate loss to others.

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.

non sequitur....it does not follow that since someone has love for some then, therefore, it implies that someone necessarily has hate for others

I am not sure if I would classify this as fallacy. Rather, it seems more of a false assumption or even just an unsupported claim. My reasoning for this is that it doesn't pass criteria #3 (it must be deceptive - it is flat out stating the assumption). The important point, however, it to recognize that it is poor reasoning to make that assumption.

Hey Alan,
I'm detecting a Manichean bias here - otherwise classified as an Either/Or Fallacy (also called "the Black-and-White Fallacy," "Excluded Middle," "False Dilemma," or "False Dichotomy"): This fallacy occurs when a writer builds an argument upon the assumption that there are only two choices or possible outcomes when actually there are several. |

I might think of this as a false dilemma: you're either for me or against me. Usually, there are more than 2 choices. What do you think?
That is, not all decisions are clearly one way or another. Maybe there is a solution that helps everyone? |
