1. Statement: "Fallacies can take on numerous forms."

Fallacies in reasoning (like logical fallacies) exist in many types (e.g., ad hominem, straw man, appeal to authority), so they have numerous forms.

Fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine arguments, so they do not help develop valid arguments.

Fallacies often use weak, misleading, or ill - supported premises (or flawed reasoning with premises), not clear and strong ones.
