A fallacy is a belief or argument that seems reasonable but is actually wrong, often because the reasoning behind it is flawed, not just because a fact is wrong. "It's a common fallacy that you lose most of your body heat through your head" — many people believe it, but it isn't true. You'll often meet this word in debates, logic classes, or articles that correct popular misunderstandings.
謬論、似是而非的錯誤觀念
