A questionable technique used in the council member's argument is that of
asserting that a lack of evidence against a view is proof that the view is correct
accepting a claim simply because advocates of an opposing claim have not adequately defended their view
attacking the proponents of the courthouse rather than addressing their argument
attempting to persuade its audience by appealing to their fear
attacking an argument that is not held by any actual council member
