Logical Fallacy of Alternative Advance / Lose-Lose Situation

 

Logical Fallacy of Alternative Advance / Lose-Lose Situation

Alternative advance is one of the many smokescreens that are used to cover the fact that the reasoning is based on one of the three fallacies of Agrippa's trilemma. Whenever a logical fallacy is committed, the fallacy has its roots in Agrippa's trilemma. All human thought (without Divine revelation) is based on one of three unhappy possibilities. These three possibilities are infinite regress, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking. This problem is known as Agrippa's trilemma. Some have claimed that only logic and math can be known without Divine revelation; however, that is not true. There is no reason to trust either logic or math without Divine revelation. Science is also limited to the pragmatic because of the weakness on human reasoning, which is known as Agrippa's trilemma.

The Logical Fallacy of Alternative Advance / Lose-Lose Situation occurs when more than one choice is supposedly offered, but the choices offered are actually the same choice. In sales closing techniques, this is known as the alternative close. This is not dishonest. It is not an attempt to cheat anyone. It is an attempt to persuade someone to buy a product. Whenever you are given some choices and asked to make a decision, check to see if there are other options.

This is not to be confused with the lose-lose situation of game theory in which both sides lose something in order to come to an agreement.

Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Alternative Advance / Lose-Lose Situation

Salesperson: "Would you prefer the red one or the yellow one?"

Customer: "I'm not ready to buy this product yet."

You must make your own decision. Be aware of the techniques of persuasion. It is not wrong to try to persuade, but it is wrong to try to deceive.

Teacher: "There are three theories of evolution. There is neo-Dawinism, which we have studied. We have studied punctuated equalibrium. And we have studied theistic evolution. Which one do you believe in?"

Student: "I don't believe any of these. God has revealed to me that He is the one who created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in them in six days."

Don't let the world squeeze you into its mold.

He: "Would you like to go out to eat or to see a movie?"

She: "Would you be interested in coming to Church with me next Sunday?"

You can simply offer your alternate suggestion rather than caving in to pressure.
