Explanation

The four map to fallacious arrival, relevance, presumption and ambiguity in turn.

A fallacious reason offers a defective ground and so reaches its conclusion through faulty arrival.

Emotional urge substitutes feeling for evidence, a fallacy of relevance.

A complex question smuggles in an unproven assumption, a fallacy of presumption or forecast.

The ad hominem, in this scheme, is grouped with the ambiguity-based defects.

These pairings link fallacious reason to arrival, emotion to relevance, complex question to presumption, ad hominem to ambiguity.
