Asserting that your conclusion or facts are just “common sense” when, in fact, they are not. We must argue as to why we believe something is common sense if there is any doubt that the belief is not common, rather than just asserting that it is. This is a more specific version of alleged certainty .
Examples:
- It’s common sense that if you smack your children, they will stop the bad behavior. So don’t tell me not to hit my kids.
