Is Nuance a Fallacy?
#6
RE: Is Nuance a Fallacy?
Nuance: a subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound.

I think it's something worth clarifying if your getting bogged down the the "nuances" of your debate. But I don't know of any "fallacy of nuance" or how that would even work.

I know Ambiguity can be a fallacy. I love the example of it from "yourlogicalfallacyis":

Example: When the judge asked the defendant why he hadn't paid his parking fines, he said that he shouldn't have to pay them because the sign said 'Fine for parking here' and so he naturally presumed that it would be fine to park there.
