Missing the Point These fallacies have in common a general failure to prove that the conclusion is true.
The following fallacies are cases of missing the point:
[Begging the Question] (The truth of the conclusion is assumed by the premises) [Irrelevant Conclusion] (An argument in defense of one conclusion proves another) [Straw Man](The arguer attacks a weak version of an opponent's argument)
