Quora is a Q/A site. Can you comment on the fallac(y,ies) in the question shown?"Why is polycarbonate (PC) still used to line aluminum beverage cans when PC is no longer used for drinking bottles due to its BPA content being considered unsafe?"
Here is the link to the actual question www.quora.com/unanswered/. . . I don't believe PC is used, so that part is not mere fallacy, but error, but the remainder sounds like begging the question. |

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.

There are a few claims within that question. If they are not facts agreed by the interlocutors, then it is begging the question.
"Why is polycarbonate (PC) still used to line aluminum beverage cans..." Is it? "when PC is no longer used for drinking bottles..." Is it? "...due to its BPA content being considered unsafe?" Is that the reason? 3 claims being made. |

The first fallacy is why would you take anything on Quora seriously?
