Ambiguity

The Fallacy

Using words that can mean two different things to trick someone.

Why it's wrong

It's like playing a word game to trick people. You say something that sounds like a promise, but later you say you meant something else.

Example

I told mom I wouldn't eat the cake on the table. So I picked it up and ate it on the couch instead.
