What is the fallacy for when someone doesn’t respond to a argument in time

1 answer

The fallacy for when someone doesn't respond to an argument in time is called an argument from silence. This fallacy occurs when one person draws a conclusion based on the absence of evidence or a lack of response from the other party, assuming that their silence indicates agreement or concession. This is a weak form of argumentation as it does not address the actual points made in the argument or engage in meaningful debate.
