I think you might be able to force fit a fallacy in here somewhere, or maybe even find one that fits nicely for specific claims. But for the most part, these statements are true/false statements. Remember that a false statement is not necessarily a fallacy, and a true statement can still be fallacious. "If it wasn't for Edison we wouldn't have the light bulb."
"If it wasn't for my dog barking at 5am, I would have slept longer." So it is not about the form of the argument, but the content where you may or may not be able to find a fallacy. |
