DU Scavenger Hunt!

[everythingsxen]

This is a scavenger hunt for items on DU, the items in this case are Logical Fallacies.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to dig through the vastness of DU and find an example of each logical fallacy listed here. You will notice on the wiki page that there are more logical fallacies than listed, in which case you get bonus points!

Rules:

Only one; do not post an example of a logical fallacy as posted by someone you are currently (or were currently in the case of Archives) in a flamewar/argument with. If in the highly unlikely event that there is on DU only one example of a particular type of logical fallacy, and that one example violates the given rule, count yourself as having gotten the point for that fallacy.

Prizes:
Winners receive satisfaction in knowing that they are really good at identifying logical fallacies and are highly skilled at searching through DUs nigh infinite numbers of threads.

The Fallacies:

• Argument from fallacy "ad logicam"
  
• Affirming the consequent or Denying the antecedent
  
• Biased sample
  
• Half-truths
  
• Hasty generalization
  
• Misleading vividness
  
• Package-deal fallacy or False dilemma
  
• Proof by example
  
• Begging the question, circular logic "petitio principii"
  
• Correlation implies causation "Cum hoc ergo propter hoc"
  
• Post hoc ergo propter hoc
  
• Appeal to consequences "ad consequentiam"
  
• Appeal to force "ad baculum"
  
• Appeal to probability & Slippery slope
  
• Irrelevant conclusion "Ignoratio elenchi" like Red herring
  
• Straw man
  
• Association fallacy
  
• Ad hoc
  
• Argument from ignorance, incredulity, belief, conviction... "ad ignorantiam"
  
• Appeal to emotion like Appeal to fear, Appeal to flattery, Appeal to pity, Appeal to spite...
  
• Wishful thinking
  
• Appeal to authority or Appeal to ridicule "Ad hominem"
  
• Appeal to the majority "ad populum"
  
• Appeal to tradition "ad antiquitatem"
  
• Equivocation & Loki's Wager
