* Last Man Standing Fallacy
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130705070826/http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ferouscranus.htm Ferrous Cranus]
:: Repeating a statement until nobody cares to respond anymore, then claiming you're right since nobody contradicts you. A favourite variation is to insist you've refuted your opponent's argument previously without ever actually doing so, and then go on to state that you can't help that they didn't understand it.
:: While it sounds simplistic, this fallacy can be maddeningly effective. In forum with content rules, the debater is often trying to frustrate their opponent into flaming them, hoping to win by default.
{{examples
* Almost any conversation with [http://www.cleverbot.com/ Cleverbot] will eventually drift into it calling you a computer and insisting that it's a human. This is because it learns from what people say to it. It will pick up phrases that humans use. Thus, with so many humans saying they are human, it will say its human.
** Example: Human A: Im a human named bob. Cleverbot: hi bob. Human B: Who are you? Cleverbot: Im a human named bob.
