4 arguments that sound right but aren't 1. Straw man: Arguing against a twisted, weaker version of what someone said, instead of what they actually said. 2. False dilemma: Offering only two options when more exist. "You're either with us or against us." 3. Ad hominem: Attacking the person making an argument instead of the argument itself. 4. Slippery slope: Claiming one small step will set off a chain of extreme results, without showing why it would.
