You're wrong. The 'compound question' is fallacious because it incorporates an unproved claim into the question.
Classic example: "When did you finally stop beating your wife?"
That's a different fallacy, the False Dilemma.
Cite an example of what you think (probably in error) a compound question is.
That's a loaded question. Look it up, Einstein.

OK, moron. I know very well the standard "When did you stop beating your wife?" fallacy example. But the nuance, as ALWAYS, in the complex question fallacy eludes you, unsurprisingly.
From Britannica:
The fallacy of many questions (
plurimum interrogationum) consists in demanding or giving a single answer to a question when this answer could either be divided (example: “Do you like the twins?” “Neither yes nor no; but Ann yes and Mary no.”) or refused altogether, because a mistaken presupposition is involved (example: “Have you stopped beating your wife?”).
You are demanding a single answer from me. Your demand includes within it the fallacious presupposition that "Bibi" responded in the ONLY possible way, when in fact there are a multiplicity of possible responses that might contain diplomacy within the approach.
From AI overview in Google search:
A
loaded question is a complex question (subcategory, Einstein) that contains a controversial assumption or bias, and is designed to get a specific answer. Here are some examples of loaded questions:
- "Have you stopped cheating on your taxes yet?": This question assumes that the respondent has cheated in the past.
- "Do you agree that our company's product is the best on the market?": This question assumes that the company's product is the best.
I never said you asked me a loaded question. I said you committed the many questions fallacy, because, quite simply, your bullshit question requires many answers, and as I said you in my earlier post, you're not looking for an answer at all. You are simply trying to get me to say something that you will then refute, so I am not going to waste my time with your incorrigible bullshit anymore.
