Question

What are some common logical fallacies (section 3.9) that you have witnessed in your life? (at work/school, in conversation, TV, Internet, etc.)

They can be related to technology, try not to get overly political in nature. Avoid Ad Hominem arguments in discussion.

Answer 1

-> Proxy fallacy:
   Here, to attack you easily, your opponent instead of answering your question, creates an imaginary version of your argument and tries to deviate the topic to win against you.
   Example:
       Tim: It would be better to contract this project.
       Andrew: Instead of using our resources to complete it why are you wasting money by giving it to someone else?
      
-> Authoritarian fallacy:
   Here, a person tries to make use of a superior person to back his argument though he might/ might not be true, he uses an authority to make it look correct.
   Example:
       Archer: As the coach said, we'll be striking first so that we can win.
      
-> Anecdotal Fallacy:
   Instead of giving a sound logic, one relies on anecdotes to show his claim as true.
   Example:
       Mike: As you're aware that wearing white clothes makes the day better, everybody in the office has to be dressed only in white.
