Logical Fallacy of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque

 

Logical Fallacy of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque

The Logical Fallacy of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque occurs when an attack against the person is included while dodging an argument by claiming that the other person has the same problem.  Tu quoque means you too. Ad hominem means against the person. Neither of these addresses the issue at hand. They are irrelevant noise.

Example of the Logical Fallacy of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque

Rocky: “Every so-called evidence for the molecules-to-man story is based on arbitrary assumptions. By Divine revelation, God declares that He created all the basic kinds of living things, plus the entire Universe, in just six days.”

Sandy: “You are just assuming that.”

Notice how easily Sandy directed the subject so that it was about Rocky. Sandy then made the unsupported assertion that revelation is assumption, and, in effect, said, “Well, I may be making up everything that I believe, but so are you.”
