Chapter 14 of Heinrichs identifies the Seven Deadly Logical Sins of Rhetoric:

1. The False Comparison

2. The Bad Example

3. Ignorance as Proof

4. The Tautology

5. The False Choice

6. The Red Herring

7. The Wrong Ending

Choose an instance in which you have observed someone commit one of these “deadly sins” and describe it. In your description, identify a) what was stated b) what the flaw was and c) (if possible) how a more sound argument could have been made.

You may choose your example from anything in your own life or in the media/news. This response should be 10-15 sentences in length. Good luck.
