What is genetic fallacy

Imagine Person A is arguing for the increased regulation of GMO food. Person B would then rebuttal by saying that, without any GMO food, we’d starve because the farmers wouldn’t be able to grow anything. By doing this, Person B is setting up an exaggerated version of Person A’s argument only to tear it down to make their argument “better.”

Example: Daniel was a precious child and had a liking for logic. He reasoned that atoms are invisible, and that he was made of atoms and therefore invisible too. Unfortunately, despite his thinky skills, he lost the game of hide and go seek.

What is burden of proof
300
E.x. A student claims that the school is overcharging students for lunch. The teacher says that she does not believe that is happening. The student asks the teacher to prove that lunch prices are fair.
Burden of proof is one type of fallacy in which someone makes a claim, but puts the burden of proof onto the other side. For example, a person makes a claim. Another person refutes the claim, and the first person asks them to prove that the claim is not true. In a logical argument, if someone states a claim, it is up to that person to prove the truth of his or her claim.

Example: Our company's profts have declined since you have started here therefore your presence harms the company's profits.
The Fallacy: Assuming that a real or perceived relationship between two things means that one causes a change in another.

Daimler says it’s to replace some of the robots used at its Sindelfingen plant in Germany to build its multiple driving options C-class with humans because the task of reprogramming each robot is less efficient than simply assigning a human to carry out the job. This has led plenty of commentators to jump to mistaken conclusions, arguing that robots will never replace humans, and that businesses have finally woken up to reality and admitted they were wrong to use robots in the first place.
What is slippery slope

Here’s the thing: the accident doesn't prove that self-driving cars are less safe than ones driven by humans, or that humans react better in such situations, and much less that the future of self-driving cars has just been thrown into doubt. To say that self-driving cars are not safe because they are not driven by humans is simply........

“Finally, you have broader considerations that might follow what you would call the "falling domino" principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. So you could have a beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences.” -Dwight Eisenhower
During the 1950s in the height of the Cold War, President Eisenhower pushed the domino theory, stating that if one country falls to Communism, all will. This is an example of a Slippery Slope Logical fallacy.

Example by Hillary Clinton: "Senator Obama, it is very difficult having a straight up debate with you because you never take responsibility for any vote and that has been a pattern." Example by Donald Trump about Carly Fiorina: "Look at the face! Would anyone vote for that?"

What is - water bottle flip -dabbing -fidget spinners -buying vans -vineyard vines -rooting for certain sports teams (Seahawks, Warriors, Cavaliers, Penguins, Real Madrid)
Bandwagon Fallacy: The Bandwagon logical fallacy basically means that people begin to like things that are popular. People do things that are popular, such as dabbing or the water bottle flip, just because it is popular and others are doing it. However, it also has to do with simply liking things. Perhaps the most common example is with sports teams. For example, when the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers became good, nearly every basketball fan switched to root for one of those two teams.

"Though the toxicant levels of e-cigs may be “9–450 times lower than in cigarette smoke,” as this study suggests, levels of formaldehyde andmetalshave been found to be comparable to or higher than those found in conventional cigarettes."
For someone arguing against what this article is saying it would be quite easy to trim this quote into an argument actually supporting E-cigs as a safe alternative. I would classify this example as the "Texas sharpshooting" logical fallacy. - Tommy
