argument is. Very briefly, an argument consists of one or more premises
and one conclusion. A premise is a statement (a sentence that is either
true or false) that is offered in support of the claim being made, which
is the conclusion (which is also a sentence that is either true or
false).

This differs
from a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts. To be
more specific, a fallacy is an "argument" in which the
premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of
support. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ad-hominem.html">Ad Hominem</A>
