1. Red Herring is a “fallacy in which a deliberate distraction is used in an attempt to veer the listener away from the real question at hand.”
I always notice this fallacy whenever I go to the mall and most of it is based between the parent and kids. The mom or dad tries to diver their kid’s attention.

Could those types of preconceptions ever lead to problematic inferences?
