Logical Fallacy of Proof by Intimidation / Argument from Intimidation |
Logical Fallacy of Proof by Intimidation / Argument from IntimidationThe logical fallacy of proof by intimidation occurs when any of the many forms of intimidation are used rather than a rational reason. This phrase is often used in mathematics to describe a mathematical proof that is given with jargon and complexity in order to intimidate the audience into compliance lest they be shown to be ignorant—sort of an emperor’s new clothes technique. Intimidation can also be generated by implying stupidity unless you agree, a very common tactic of those supporting Atheism, Uniformitarianism, Naturalism, Materialism, Darwinism (molecules-to-man evolution), or old Earthism.
