Fallacies rely on incorrect inferences.

Explanation:

Fallacies are arguments that look like a good argument of a particular type, but which in fact are not at all. There may be irrelevant arguments in factual debate or inaccuracy in logical reasoning. In factual debate, argumentation errors often lead to erroneous conclusions. Some forms of argumentation error are rhetorically effective and can be used deliberately to deceive an opponent.

Recognizing argumentation errors can be difficult, but it is useful to know them as it facilitates reasoning and debate analysis. A knowledgeable rhetorician may point out made argumentation errors to reduce the credibility of the debate opponent.
