Bifurcation

From Summa Bergania

The fallacy of making something into only two choices.

[edit]

Examples

  • Bumper sticker: America—Love it or leave it!
  • TV commercial: When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer.
  • Senator Richard Russell: "If we have to start over again with another Adam and Eve, I want them to be Americans and not Russians."
  • Either I was hallucinating or I actually saw Uri Geller bend that spoon with his mind. Now I know I wasn't hallucinating because other people saw it too. So Geller did bend that spoon with his mind.
