An either/or fallacy occurs when a speaker makes a claim (usually a premise in an otherwise valid deductive argument) that presents an artificial range of choices. For instance, he may suggest that there are only two choices possible, when three or more really exist. Those who use an either/or fallacy try to force their audience to accept a conclusion by presenting only two possible options, one of which is clearly more desirable.

An either-or fallacy is a false dilemma that presents only two options or outcomes when more exist. It suggests that there are no other possibilities besides the two extremes presented, oversimplifying the situation and limiting potential solutions or perspectives.
