I was reminded that recently, I was talking about equivocation, and failed to talk about the fallacy of false equivalence. A lack of understanding about false equivalence is very prominent in our society.

That is to say, that the mere fact that differing opinions on a particular topic may exist is no indication that all opinions are equally supported by factual evidence and reason.
