Common Fallacies Im Guilty Of. And So Are You. ad hominem: Latin for to the man. An arguer who uses ad hominems attacks the person instead of the argument. Whenever an arguer cannot defend his position with evidence, facts or reason, he or she may resort to attacking an opponent either through: labeling, straw man arguments, NAME CALLING, offensive remarks and anger. appeal to ignorance (argumentum ex silentio) appealing to ignorance as evidence for something. (e.g., We have no evidence that God doesnt exist, therefore, he must exist. Or: Because we have no knowledge of alien visitors, that means they do not exist). Ignorance about something says nothing about its existence or non-existence. red herring: when the arguer diverts the attention by changing the subject. straw man: creating a false or made up scenario and then attacking it.
