Expert Solution

Formal fallacy

In the philosophy of science, a formal fallacy or a non-sequitur is when a pattern of reasoning becomes invalid because the conclusion that is drawn from the given premises does not logically follow the premises themselves. This is a deductive fallacy where the premises may themselves be true, but the conclusion that is drawn from them does not necessarily follow, even if it is true.

In formal logic, validity and logic are separate terms. Validity refers to whether the conclusion logically follows from the given premises, whereas logic refers to whether the conclusion is true or false.
