Fallacies

In defining the parameters for what is
and is not a valid argument, certain
types of arguments have been dismissed
outright by Indian logicians, since these
arguments are held to be based on
invalid premises. The key flaw shared by
these objectionable arguments is the
fallacy known as self-residence, in
which the cause and its effect are the
same thing. Varieties of this fallacy
include reciprocal dependence, a
vicious circle, and an infinite regress.
The presence of any of these fallacies is
sufficient grounds to dismiss an argument as invalid.
