illogicalities
Flaws in thinking
Illogicalities are instances of flawed or unreasonable thinking—conclusions that don't follow from premises, arguments that contradict themselves, or reasoning that defies common sense.
The word often appears in formal critique: The report was riddled with illogicalities.
Where *illogic* names the quality in general, illogicalities points to specific examples of it.
