The first would be false comparison which is usually the all natural fallacy. " it assumes that members of the same family share all the same traits." The second would be the bad example. Which is some people misinterprets the evidence by giving false examples to support your conclusion. And hasty generalization by not giving enough examples to prove why. The third sin is ignorance as proof " if we cant prove it then it must not be exist. Or if we cant disprove it then it must exist. Fourth sin the tautology which means how the same things get repeted in different words. Fith sin the false choice you may have no problem but your not given the right amount of number of choices.
