Hence, the statement "p is an unknown truth" cannot be both known and true at the same time.

In other words, a claim is ignored or given credibility based on its source rather than the claim itself. The fallacy therefore fails to assess the claim on its merit. The first criterion of a good argument is that the premises must have bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim in question. [ 2 ]
