Chapter 14 talks about fallacies. Its a defense for rhetorical logic. This chapter says that you can use ignorance as proof. If someone doesn't know something or doesn't really know about the topic your arguing about then you can use that to your advantage. Tautology also is a important tactic. Its when the proof and the conclusion are the same. False choice is when the number of choices your given aren't all the choices available. The chapter speaks on slipper slopes which predicts a dire series of events to occur from one situation. For example " You let your son play video games next thing you know he's selling drugs to old women at a high price". I know it sounds stranger but hey....Red herring is when the redirect the argument from you to something else,for example " Why didn't you clean your room"?......"Why didn't you clean the bathroom"?
