Fallacy(2): Slippery Slope急剧下滑

Also Known as: The Camel's Nose.

Description of Slippery Slope

The Slippery Slope is a fallacy in which a person asserts that some event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the inevitability of the event in question. In most cases, there are a series of steps or gradations between one event and the one in question and no reason is given as to why the intervening steps or gradations will simply be bypassed. This "argument" has the following form:

   1. Event X has occurred (or will or might occur).

   2. Therefore event Y will inevitably happen.

急剧下滑谬误是指一个人声称一些事情必然会随着令一件事情的发生而发生，但是并没有对该必然性进行证明。在大多数情况下，这两件事情之间并 不存在必然联系，他们之间还有一系列的步骤或阶段性变化。并没有给出原因为什么这之间的步骤或阶段可以简略地略过。

事件X已经发生（或将要发生或可能发生）。所以事件Y肯定会发生。

Fallacy(1): Ad Hominem诉诸人身的谬误

Proof: Identify the attack and show that the character or circumstances of the person has nothing to do with the truth or falsity of the proposition being defended.

应对方法： 指出这种人身攻击并说明这个人的个性或处境与他的观点的正确与否是无关的。

Description of Ad Hominem

Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."

The person presenting an argument is attacked instead of the argument itself. This takes many forms. For example, the person's character, nationality or religion may be attacked. Alternatively, it may be pointed out that a person stands to gain from a favorable outcome. Or, finally, a person may be attacked by association, or by the company he keeps.

诉诸人身的 谬误：反驳论点的时候攻击的是对持该论点的人进行人身攻击。比如对对方的个性，国籍，宗教进行攻击。或者，指出对方持有该观点是因为对方会因此而获利。
