LogicLens-Logical Fallacy Identification

Example

Detecting an 'Appeal to Authority' fallacy in a debate where an argument is incorrectly deemed valid just because an expert in a different field believes it to be true.

Scenario

In a public debate, one speaker argues that a specific economic policy must be effective because a renowned physicist endorses it. LogicLens can highlight that the physicist's expertise does not necessarily extend to economic policies, pointing out the fallacy.

Example

Evaluating the strength of an argument in a research paper that relies on correlational data to claim causation.

Scenario

A research paper concludes that video game usage directly causes improved problem-solving skills, based solely on correlational studies. LogicLens can critique this by explaining the 'Correlation/Causation Fallacy,' suggesting the need for experimental data to establish causation.

Example

Proposing different argument structures to avoid 'False Dilemma' fallacies in policy proposals.

Scenario

A policy proposal presents only two extreme options for handling a social issue, ignoring potential middle-ground solutions. LogicLens can recommend rephrasing the argument to acknowledge a spectrum of solutions, avoiding oversimplification.
