Fallacies of omission are errors due to leaving out necessary information or misdirecting from necessary information. One type of fallacy of omission is argument from the negative, which is asserting that one position is correct because the opposition is false. An example of this type of fallacy is as follows: "Pei-mei and Esmeralda are definitely not going out. Therefore, I am right that Pei-mei is dating Soshanna." A second type of fallacy of omission is appeal to a lack of evidence, which is asserting that one position is correct because there is a lack of evidence to prove that it is incorrect. An example of this type of fallacy is as follows: "You cannot prove that ghosts don't exist, so they obviously exist."
