This is similar to the "argument from authority" or the "argument from force" or the "argument from ignorance" or a "circular argument."

Bunch fallacies here.

I propose to call such arguments: "The Fallacy Hermeneutic Perspicuity."

Thanks

CRIDers use so many fallacies, it is hard to keep track.

I can guarantee than in any of these Creov threads, I can find logical fallacies in 100% of their posts (strawman is far and away their favorite).

It's just that these Fallacitic Hermeneutic Perspicuities are so transparent and easily defeated I have to use little words to show them how their personal belief doesn't hold up.

But I am keeping your term on hand!! (LOL)

"The Fallacy Hermeneutic Perspicuity."

I haven't done it yet, but the other day I was thinking we should say "The Sin Hermeneutic Perspicuity.", Sin of Equivocation, Sin of Begging the Question, etc.

Employing fallacies in order to deceive is a form of lying, IMO.
