Draft:Failure to elucidate

A Failure to Elucidate is a Logical fallacy in which a term used is kept intentionally vague and undefined, potentially being only "defined" with examples.

Examples

Kent Hovind is notorious for never defining the word Kind, only giving several examples. If "kind" means species, it is pointed out that speciation occurs. If "kind" means any other more general taxonomic level, counterexamples will still be provided. He usually gives examples such as the the "dog kind" and the "cat kind."

Another potential example is defining Failure to Elucidate by only using the above Kent Hovind example.
