Bad reasoning within arguments can result from either a [[formal fallacy]] or an [[informal fallacy]]. Formal fallacies occur when there is a problem with the form, or structure, of the argument. The word "formal" refers to this link to the ''form'' of the argument. An argument that contains a formal fallacy will always be invalid. An informal fallacy is an error in reasoning that occurs due to a problem with the ''content'', rather than the form or structure, of the argument.
