{{merge|False Dilemma}}
A '''false dichotomy''', or "false choice," is a [[logical fallacy]] whereby one side of an argument presents to the other two unpleasant, opposite, and extreme alternatives, alleging that they are the only choices open in the matter up for debate. The fallacy lies in disregarding the middle ground, or failing to credit the range of disagreement on the issue.
