Here is today’s word:
Argument from ignorance, also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam or “appeal to ignorance”, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not been proven false (or vice versa)
For example, I believe in “orgone energy”. I also happen to like Pikachu, a Pokemon character from a Japanese animated cartoon series.
Let’s puts it this way: “Orgone energy” sends out “natural bio-electromagnetic energy,” just like “Pikachu” sending out its electrical powers “against” its fellow enemies, other Pokemon characters.
In both instances, there is no evidence that Pikachu operates like “orgone energy”. Therefore, there is no Pikachu or “orgone energy”.
