Description of Circumstantial Ad Hominem. A Circumstantial ad Hominem is a fallacy in which one attempts to attack a claim by asserting that the person making the claim is making it simply out of self interest.
Thus, the claim that ad hominem has become something other than a logical fallacy cannot be claimed to be a case-closed, and should not be presented as such on the main page (!).24.143.68.244 (talk) 14:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC) I take the point that not all arguments 'to the person' are fallacious. In my experience, in science, arguments 'to the person' divert the us from the evidence. I suggest that 'ad hominem' is useful as a label for arguments that divert from the evidence. 72.139.18.106 (talk) 23:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)David Schneider.
