Appeal to the stone, also known in latin as ‘argumentum ad lapidem’, is a logical fallacy that dismisses an argument as untrue or absurd and the proof for this assertion is simply the fact that the argument is absurd. This theory is closely tied to ‘proof by assertion’ because of the lack of evidence behind the assertion and its attempt to be persuasive without providing any evidence. ^[1]

Practicing citations[edit]

Appeal to the Stone is a type of informal fallacy within the realm of logical fallacies. This means that ‘appeals to the stone’ relies on inductive reasoning in an argument to justify an assertion. The assertion relies entirely on the content of the argument and does not examine the form or structure of it.^[2]
