This document outlines several common logical fallacies to avoid in reasoning: ad hominem attacks the person rather than their argument; faulty cause and effect assumes correlation proves causation; either/or reasoning fails to acknowledge complexity; hasty generalization makes broad conclusions without sufficient evidence; false analogy draws misleading parallels; begging the question presumes as fact the point needing proof; non sequitur conclusions do not logically follow premises; and oversimplification offers simple answers to complex issues.
