False equivalency: A misleading comparison where the comparison targets are forcibly balanced while ignoring relevant differences. For example, claiming that banning guns also requires banning cars. Both cause harm to human life, but guns are designed for lethality and are closely linked to crime, whereas automobiles are meant for transportation and sometimes cause fatalities in traffic accidents as side effects. Comparing these two as if they are the same constitutes a false equivalency. Similarly, saying that apples and oranges are the same because they are both fruits and round is also a false equivalency. We are easily misled by such false comparisons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A truck carrying a cow was overturned in an accident on the highway. The cow stuck in the car was on its way to the slaughterhouse. Should you rescue the cow? Is the rescue good or evil? Is the good you are doing good? If the purpose is good, what does it matter? No, what about the opposite? - Joseph’s “just my confusion”
