Personal Incredulity

The Fallacy

Saying something isn't true just because you don't understand how it works.

Why it's wrong

Some things are very complicated, like how computers work or how airplanes fly. Just because it's hard to understand doesn't mean it's fake.

Example

I don't understand how a heavy metal airplane can float in the sky, so it must be magic.
