I'm not sure, but it seems that the 2nd sentence in the example claim in 'Appeal to Nature' is supposed to be true. "You don't see same-sex animals copulating." If I am not mistaken, homosexual behavior has been documented in many species, from bonobos to mosquitoes. It seems I am correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals
Hi.
previously I am very grateful for the owner of the Logical Defense project.
I would like to ask you basic issues related to Logical Defense Logo. I see the logo is too complicated. and difficult to remember. but every logo has a meaning, and every logo is perfectly designed. but before I say anything else. is there any meaning of the existing logo.
I just want to make sure.
Genetic Fallacy's definition says "it's" instead of "its."
Hi, I would be happy to fix some issues in the french translation if you want. It is a great app! :)

Bump.
The explanation given for appeal to authority isn't proper.
This should be the correct definition:
"An Appeal to Authority is a fallacy with the following form: Person A is (claimed to be) an authority on subject S. Person A makes claim C about subject S. Therefore, C is true."
Therefore, if a professor in economics or a minister of finance claims "x" to be a reasonable economic policy, it should not be taken as reasonable. Only the argument should be looked at. The same thing applies to scientific papers. It does not matter that if a scientist revealed it or if a highly prestigious university revealed it. All that should matter is the reasons behind it, even if a a beggar porposed a theory, which is reasonable, it should be then accepted, as it is reasonable. Authority has nothing to do with reason, and that's what "appeal to authority" tries to state.
The definition given in the app is : "Claiming something is true because an (unqualified or untrustworthy) 'expert" says it is."
Even a qualified and trustworthy expert can have fallacious reasoning. The "unqualified and "untrustworthy" clause should be replaced with "a person holding authority" or something.
Thanks, I hope this bug gets fixed :)
It should be "applies to an entire group" instead of "applies tp am entire group".
Description: An argument or claim in which two completely opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. The confusion is often due to one shared characteristic between two or more items of comparison in the argument that is way off in the order of magnitude, oversimplified, or just that important additional factors have been ignored.

A conclusion is derived from premise based on the conclusion
Hiding other contributing factors and supporting the truth of your claim without any evidence other
than the conclusion on your claim
Aren't those essentially the same? or is there a subtle difference I don't get.
sometimes it would be useful to have the ability to share a logical fault in a chat.
This could be a start for an Implementation:

Greetings to you Project Owner,
I am a graphics designer and contributing on open source projects, is there any chance I can contribute on your project by making some logo on it ?
"don't" not "don;t"
It has been suggested (through a review on the Play Store) that I add an external link to a more detailed for each fallacy. I will start to compile a list of examples, although this is a momentous task. Any help would be appreciated. Going to create a Google Sheet with each fallacy and the link so that I can crowd-source examples :)
It has been recommended that I add a share function on long press on each fallacy. I will be doing this :)
I don't see non sequitur anywhere in the app. It would be a nice addition.
Update to use RecyclerView with CardView
Burden of proof "show my I'm wrong.
Made a Dutch translation of the content. I'm new to contributing so I have no idea where and what to do next. I would also like to ask @truedragontears to check the document to make sure its good enough.
'Stripping privacy rights only matters to those with something to hide. You must have something to hide if you oppose stripping privacy rights.'
The first sentence says that if stripping privacy rights matters to you, then you have something to hide; the second sentence says if you oppose stripping privacy rights, then you must have something to hide. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't circular logic more about having one of the sentences going the other way?
Having the text translated in other languages would be awesome.
It should probably depend on system preferences for default choice.
P.S: I can help for translating in french.
Hi,
are you going to bump the version in the F-Droid store?

Just installed from app store and the misleading Vividness entry reads
Misleading Vividness
Describing an occurrence in vivid detail, even if it is a rare occurrence, to convince someone that it is a true.
"...that it is a true", while cute, is not quite correct.
Not "more mosques that churches" but "more mosques than churches".
Seems like it just got tagged on a random commit, where version 2.0.0 was not completely ready. If one builds from this tag, the app has the wrong package name for example. Could you please fix the tag?
Will implement a search function into the toolbar
as this is an app with probaply a lot of code illiterate users it could be useful to use an easy to use online service and make a link to the online tool in the app itself like this project did: https://github.com/Ph1b/MaterialAudiobookPlayer
A notes section under each type of logical fallacy would be helpful for users to note examples of the fallacies they encounter in daily life.
Idea from Maximiliano Yevenes in a Play Store review.
Add a counter/retort/comeback to each fallacy.
This should be self explanatory ๐
A number of requests to add in the Latin names for each fallacy have come in.
I'll add in these names once I've fleshed out the new Card look for the app
A dark mode has been requested. Will implement this.
Quite annoying.
