ABSTRACT: A logical fallacy is an argument that can be disproven through reasoning. This is different from a subjective opinion or one that can be disproven with facts; for a position to be a logical fallacy, it must be logically flawed or deceptive. A false dilemma is one of the very well-known logical fallacies. Sometimes called the “either-or” fallacy, a false dilemma is a logical fallacy that presents only two options or sides when there are many options or sides. A false dilemma presents a “black and white” kind of thinking when there are many shades of gray. This article discusses false dilemma as a logical fallacy and mistakes made in the Harvard MBA program regarding educational sociology.
