Appeal to the stone , also known as argumentum ad lapidem , is a logical fallacy that dismisses an argument as untrue or absurd. The dismissal is made by stating or reiterating that the argument is absurd, without providing further argumentation. This theory is closely tied to proof by assertion due to the lack of evidence behind the statement and its attempt to persuade without providing any evidence.
So I touched on this earlier and offered an example of me presenting evidence and @sid ignoring it and simply restating his own unevidenced opinion. Here are some more examples of @Sid using this fallacy:
So here is part of the evidence presented by @Calilasseia, and the link will take anyone to where they can read what was presented in full.
Here’s the fallacious response from @Sid , an unevidenced dismissal without any explanation to support it.
It’s ironic he doesn’t see the own goal as well in his assertion, and I am not referring just to the fallacy of course, but the obvious bias in accepting what is written in a book supporting his unevidenced beliefs, without any supporting evidence for the claims, while using this fallacy to dismiss what is written in other books, that has satisfied the rigour of scientific peer review, using experiments to support conclusions that are testable repeatable and falsifiable.
