Great article, but how did they omit “Begging the Question”?

I suppose that it is not an exhaustive list.

For reference, Begging the question, sometimes known by its Latin name petitio principii (meaning assuming the initial point), is a logical fallacy in which the writer or speaker assumes the statement under examination to be true. In other words, begging the question involves using a premise to support itself.

For example, 'Opium puts you to sleep because it is a soporific.'

I leave it to the Freeperverse to continue to add to the list.

Unfortunately, most people do not understand that phrase from a perspective of argument and debate (understandably, given vernacular language).
