Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Norma wants to play a guitar solo on our next recording. Her father is a horrible musician, though, so I doubt that Norma's any good either.
A: guilt by association: a negative association intended to discredit someone or something
B: straw man: a misrepresentation of an opponent's position that makes it easier to argue against
The text argues that Norma must be a bad guitar player, because her father is a horrible musician. However, even though Norma's father is a horrible musician, that doesn't necessarily mean that Norma is as well. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.
