Two other common irrelevant conclusion fallacies are Wishful Thinking and Denial. Wishful thinking happens when we forget that wanting something to be true is irrelevant to whether it is true. Denial happens when we forget that wanting something to be false is irrelevant to whether it is false. The two fallacies are flip sides of the same thing, of course.

Here is an example of wishful thinking:
I really really hope I will be the next American Idol. Therefore I'm sure I will be.
Do American Idol contestants really think this? Some at any rate seem stunned when they are eliminated.

Filial piety to parents is to make them happy and satisfied. The amount of money given to your parents is not the standard to judge whether you are filial or not.
