Your example was very clear which gave me a better understanding of what "mistaking the person (group) for the claim." The girl in your example showed the cause and effect when a false premise is given. It seems that when someone mistakes another person for what has happened in the past, it affects how are viewed in the future. When this occurs, fallacy is made as well as bad arguments.CHUBBYDREAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288947518683449153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674638301520966180.post-11200112581740152022010-09-18T22:04:21.928-07:002010-09-18T22:04:21.928-07:00I enjoyed your summary and example.

Once people tells a big enough lie, they lose the credibility in any of their arguments. The focus of their arguments begin to turn into the person's credibility instead of the credibility of the premises. Your example was the basic, "Boy who cries wolf" story. The girl told a serious lie and it threw everyone off, but when she admitted that it was a lie everyone didn't believe in anything she said anymore. Sometimes I think my dad loses some credibility in me because when I was younger I had told a few lies.lawrasaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727422497877894793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674638301520966180.post-77197992093015037862010-09-18T18:52:56.589-07:002010-09-18T18:52:56.589-07:00You wrote a very nice summary.

I have a similar experience with this girl I went to elementary school with. She always said she was hurt or something so she never participated in physical education. But after physical education was over, she would magically be okay to play at recess. After a while, everyone stopped believing her. I think it is important to establish credibility not only when you are trying to prove a point, but with people in general.nicoletamayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613573435047266526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674638301520966180.post-1630807679822925402010-09-17T13:46:43.486-07:002010-09-17T13:46:43.486-07:00Hello!

How in your example the girl was faking an injury to gain attention from everyone even though she didn't have that illness. Her argument was a lie or it was false. It kind of reminds me of the story of the boy who cried wolf. It was similar to your example, the boy cried wolf and every mistakingly thought the claim was true but in reality it was a lie. And later the villagers didn't believe him after that and sadly, I believe he suffered dire consequences when a wolf really came. In everyday life to use such fallacies is easy because people tend to assume things as true rather than a lie even if it has plausible statements and facts.heedeekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153078347402183022noreply@blogger.com
