Question

What is an appeal to ignorance?

Answer 1

Root phrase is from Latin - argumentum ad ignorantiam

Explanation:

It is one of the biggest logical fallacies out there, describing a proposition as true simply on the basis that it has not been proved false or that it is false simply because it has not been proved true.

This logical fallacy is often expressed with influential rhetoric, particularly prevalent in Shakespearen political plays (like the Tragedy of Julius Caesar).
