Question 2: Audience Fallacies vs Authorial Fallacies

Audience fallacies are assuming audience reacts in a certain way by making a generalization of the audience. You don’t want to use audience fallacies when writing papers, making presentations, etc. An example is suburban housewives have hummers because they don’t care about the environment. Authorial fallacies is when you assume a companies message but not what they intended. In other words, you are assuming someone’s motive. An example would be the audience thinking that Hummer doesn’t care about the environment and just about safety.
