| Fallacy | argument from adverse consequences |
|---|---|
| Definition and Examples | (e.g., A God meting out punishment and reward must exist, because if He didn’t, society would be much more lawless and dangerous — perhaps even ungovernable. Or: The defendant in a widely publicized murder trial must be found guilty; otherwise, it will be an encouragement for other men to murder their wives) "Donald Trump won't get elected because that would mean horrible things for the world" |
