Is this a logical fallacy?What is it called when someone avoids giving a reason for an argument. For example: Person A: Well, this is just the way of life Person B: Why should it be or why is it that way? Person A: Why shouldn't it? Is this simply shifting the burden of proof? or some cognitive bias or something else? |

These are thought-terminating clichés. Vague, feel-good phrases used to discourage critical thought and make you accept something for what it is. Examples: "it's just the right thing to do!" "it's how the world works..." |
