Logical Fallacy of Proof by Verbosity / Argumentum Verbosium

 

Logical Fallacy of Proof by Verbosity / Argumentum Verbosium

The Logical Fallacy of Proof by Verbosity / Argumentum Verbosium occurs when a conclusion is supported with an argument too complex and verbose to reasonably deal with in all its intimate details. This fallacy is similar to the fallacy of information overload. Sometimes, verbosity can be a means of intimidation, especially when insider jargon is used to confuse and overwhelm the listener/reader.
