PG109:

--- Quote from: "CapSponge" ---ding, ding, ding!  Adams' identification:  "Amazingly Bad Analogy"

Example #2:

On the basis of my observations, wearing huge pants makes you fat.

No fallacy, you are fat.

Example #2:

Unrepresentative sample.  
Vague authority.
(Not using the shotgun effect here.  Either both are right or I miss.)

CapSponge:
Giving #2 to Paul.  Adams' identification:  "Faulty Cause and Effect."  Suggestion:  a good explanation of this type of fallacy can be found here.

FALLACY #3:

PG109:
Again, no fallacy because you are fat.
