0:04:25 Trish & Chips - With Trish Hann

0:12:00 Logical Fallacies. With Michelle Bijkersma
This week Michelle looks at "Personal Incredulity".
Also known as "the argument from personal astonishment", this is when someone cannot accept an argument because they don't believe in or don't understand the premise and the points being made. That is to say they think it's false because they cannot see how it can be true.
A Logical Fallacy is an error we can make in reasoning, but it usually crops up when we are discussing or arguing our point of view.
