Talk:Didit fallacy

The Devil made me do it
Flip Wilson famously said that. Should count as a didit fallacy. It was only his most famous saying.&mdash; Unsigned, by: 50.240.225.25 / talk / contribs

OBJECTION!
This isn't a fallacy. It's not a flawed deduction. Why do we call this page a fallacy? ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 16:03, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Alcohol and related substances-didit.

Reject
Why reject God doing something when you can neither prove nor disprove it?
 * Ah, our JAQing off BoN apologist strikes again on yet another RW talk page... Do you actually not realise that the burden of proof rests on those that assert divine influence as an “explanation”? ScepticWombat (talk) 10:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

The appeal to ignorance
I am inclined to agree this fallacy is not really a fallacy at all because there is no proper logical argument containing it. But it can be made to resemble the appeal to ignorance.

We are given,
 * 1. Y happened,
 * 2. I'm not sure why Y happened.
 * 3. X did it!

An appeal to ignorance would be of the form,


 * 1. Y happened
 * 2. I can't think of any cause for y to happen other than x.
 * 3. x was the cause.
