Logical Fallacy of Loaded LanguageThe logical fallacy of loaded language occurs when presuppositions or emotional connotations are attached to language. Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Loaded Language
By using emotional language, Bill Nye is implying impossibility, however the question of possibility has been answered repeatedly and successfully in the past. The key words that carry the emotion are: "extraordinary" and "super powers".
Here, the emotion and presupposition is carried in the word, "extraordinarily", which implies unreal in the tone that it was spoken. In addition, there is a reference to evidence but no rational evidence for billions of years was given during the debate.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
