The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The source of the error is not necessarily due to the form of the argument, as is the case for formal fallacies, but is due to its content and context.
- Fallacies, despite being incorrect, usually appear to be correct and thereby can seduce people into accepting and using them.
- These misleading appearances are often connected to various aspects of natural language, such as ambiguous or vague expressions, or the assumption of implicit premises instead of making them explicit.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Informal fallacy article was read about 87,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Informal fallacy
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
