What fallacy is thisPerson 1 lights up a cigarette in the store And a security guard comes over and tells him that " you can't smoke in the store" And Person 1's defense was " I served 30 years in the damn Navy, as a proud white supremacist and proud pedophile, I don't deserve this treatment" |

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

This is a prime example of the "red herring" fallacy, where one introduces an irrelevant point to divert attention from the original issue. This chap's naval service doesn't grant him the right to smoke wherever he pleases, as commendable as 30 years at sea may be! It's like saying you can walk on newly planted grass because you won your 5th-grade spelling bee. Fun fact, neither contribution helps the grass grow - one just ends up looking rather silly (and having very dirty shoes)!
