Sahil Bloom posted a great field guide to Logical Fallacies: The Logical Fallacy Field Guide
Ok, this isn’t PeopleSoft or Oracle or ERP Reporting… you get the point.
This a quick, concise guide to the “errors in reasoning that destroy the quality of an argument.”
It’s part of our job, everyday, not only work, lead and convince others about our ideas and goals, but to evaluate these goals, plans and ideas of everyone around us. ERP systems are never a result of one person’s edicts.
So, how do we tell if we’re destroying our own argument with a logical fallacy? How do we tell someone else is trying to manipulate us to their goals?
We’ll never win them all. The best ideas don’t always win.
But at least have an idea about the tools and weapons in this arena before you launch off into that next great plan.
