Primes

• Blinding
  • In legal and judicial procedure, sequestration and the rules of evidence are procedural cuts of inadmissible channels.
• Informal Fallacy
  • In law and adjudication, rules of relevance and evidence are partly codifications of informal-fallacy avoidance: character evidence rules guard against ad hominem reasoning, the prohibition on assuming facts not in evidence guards against question-begging, and the recurring balancing of probative against prejudicial value is precisely the demand that an item's persuasive force not exceed its logical force

    This sourceCornell Legal Information Institute. Codifies exclusion of evidence whose unfair prejudicial effect substantially outweighs its probative value, and character-evidence limits — codifications of ad-hominem/relevance fallacy avoidance.
