A fallacy is an incorrect argument in logic and rhetoric which undermines an argument's logical validity or more generally an argument's logical soundness. Fallacies are either formal fallacies or informal fallacies. These are commonly used styles of argument in convincing people, where the focus is on communication and results rather than the correctness of the logic, and may be used whether the point being advanced is correct or not.
Familiarity with a few types of fallacies will reduce the chances that you will be fooled by the fallacious arguments of others, and it will also make it less likely that you will engage in fallacious reasoning yourself. Fallacies, like argument forms, are types or patterns of reasoning.
