Line.Drawing.Fallacy
When making a statement in an argument or debate, a strong argument is always good to have. A fallacy is an mistake or error in delivering a clear message or reasoning. The "drawing the line" fallacy is an example of one of many fallacies. What is a line? A strong sharp concise edge. The line drawing fallacy uses false unclear statements or concepts to argue. If you can not provide a strong sharp line against an argument than the concept is considered invalid or false. In an argument, a point or idea should always be precise and clear. The line drawing fallacy basically is an argument with no clear message. When delivering an argument, the lines between the opposing sides of the argument should be clear. So when arguing, every statement should be precise to draw the lines between the opposing sides. To avoid the pitfalls of the line drawing fallacy, make sure your arguments are precise and evident enough to draw a boundary line of facts.
