What fallacy is this?What kind of fallacy is this?
Person 1 claims that paper straws are better for the environment as opposed to plastic ones. Person 2 claims like the 6 plastic solo cups or the styrofoam to-go box is okay... but we are “going green” with paper straws. It’s a joke |

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.

Not a fallacy at all. Just b/c you can't solve the whole problem doesn't mean you shouldn't solve part of it.

He's basically attacking his "morality" instead of his argument. A variation of Ad Fidentia |
