My best friend the inter-net has some nice examples of the fallacy of equivocation. Here are two good ones:
- A feather is light.
- What is light cannot be dark.
Therefore, a feather cannot be dark. - Margarine is better than nothing.
- Nothing is better than butter.
- Therefore, margarine is better than butter.
Wait, we weren't just speaking of non sequit--Oh. I see what you did there.
Clever.
