It is basically making a claim based on evidence that it just too small. argue that your conclusion must be true, because there is no evidence against it. This fallacy wrongly shifts the burden of proof away from the one making the claim. an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument. occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. an idea or course of action which will lead to something unacceptable, wrong, or disastrous. diverting attention from the real issue by focusing instead on an issue having only a surface relevance to the first.
