Is Nuance a Fallacy?
#1
Is Nuance a Fallacy?
I just wanted to ask a question, and since I was getting no reliable sources anywhere else on the internet, I thought to myself, who are the most intelligent people? People on internet forums.
But in legitimacy, I just wanted to know if nuance is a fallacy. This comes up a lot in arguments that I have, especially arguments I have with my mother over abortion. I do think there is nuance in everything, but, logical fallacies make the person on the other side question the validity of the statement, as we all know.
Thank you in advance if you reply, even though this doesn't have anything to do with atheism.  Shy

Is nuance a fallacy? It depends...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I would advise nuancing any arguments on the topic, pro or con.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Possibly my point, however I would entertain alternate points of view, of course.

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.

Welcome matey.
Interesting bio.

Do you prefer the warm conservative sound of British speakers, or the more bright accurate sound from US and good Japanese speakers?

I like Canadian. They have the best of both worlds...

RE: Is Nuance a Fallacy?
Nuance is a fallacy in direct proportion to the simplicity of the thinker. The simpler the thinker, the more fallacious the nuance.

8-bit computers can't run 64- bit operating systems, either.

In my opinion: Anyone regarding nuance as fallacious is probably not a very deep thinker, and probably may be safely ignored.
