Tu Quoque: The "You Too" Fallacy


Listen Later

Tu Quoque, Latin for "you too," is a type of logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's argument by pointing out hypocrisy or inconsistency in their behavior or beliefs. Instead of addressing the substance of the argument, the person deflects criticism by accusing the other party of the same or similar behavior.


🔄 Tu Quoque: Deflecting criticism by pointing out the accuser's hypocrisy doesn't address the original argument. Focus on the message, not the messenger. Logic over deflection!
