Fallacies of Presumption arise because the premises presume what they purport to prove.
a) False dichotomy: Also called the Either Or fallacy
This fallacy forces one to choose between two alternatives when more than two alternatives exist. It oversimplifies a complex issue by reducing it to a simple either or choice. The alternatives it presents do not exhaust all the possibilities
Either you are with us or you are against us
You are not with us. Therefore, you must be against us.
b)Complex question: Also called the fallacy of many questions, fallacy of interrogation It consists of asking questions in such a way that any single answer involves or implies other answers as well. In a complex question usually two or more questions are rolled into one. In the case of two questions the second presupposes that a definite answer has already been provided to the unasked question.
