Burden of Proof Fallacy


Other than reading artical and found Petitio principii, i found that my family members like to use Burden of Proof Fallacy when we are chatting.This incident happened when we was having dinner.

Father:"Do u think that you are putting on weight?"

I:"Really?"

Father:"Don't you think so?"


In that moment, I thought of critical thinking and i found that it is very useful to pursue or to argue with someone when one knows critical thinking.


After a few moment, my sis's turn to use Burden of proof Fallacy.


Sis:"Why are you so choosy when come to food?Why dont you eat everything mum cook?"

Brother:"Why should I?Why can't i eat whatever i like?"


Such a weird family i having!We like to use Burden of Proof Fallacy when come to chit-chatting.
