What is an "ad hock"? Beyond spelling errors and questionable grammar, I think a more focused, refutable, and less ambitious article would be helpful for those of us newcomers trying to evaluate these ideas from a position outside of the debate.

    "Fallacy is due to difference between reality and information. "

    Not so. Fallacies are generally identified and categorized by their internal structure, independent of reality or information. (see 'ad hoc' fallacy, 'ad hominem' fallacy, et al.)
