Can Fools Really See?

Logical Fallacies.

They're annoying and misleading unless you know how to catch them.

The "as any fool can see" approach may be the most irritating of all the fallacies. This approach assumes that everyone will agree with the idea and those who don't are uninformed or unintelligent. In writing, the best approach to avoid this fallacy is to assume that the reader does not know anything about the topic and may not agree with you. In reading, the most logical way to not be persuaded  by this fallacy is to question every "fact" which might actually be the authors opinion.
