Purple Dinosaurs

Authorial fallacies assume that an author is making a certain statement. Arguments for a dominant intent can be made however. Audience fallacies assume something about the audience reading, or described by, the writing. You cannot assume that all children love purple dinosaurs even if many children do love them or that the author had certain intent by writing about dinosaurs. Committing these fallacies alters the information and ideas of the author or audience.
