'''False dilemma''' is a [[logic]]al fallacy in which a set of options are presented as if they are mutually exclusive or as if they're the only possible options, when in fact they are not. <ref>http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/adhom/dilemma.html</ref> It is used to give the impression that if one rejects another's argument, he must necessarily embrace an absurd or unappealing stance.
