An appeal to ignorance is a fallacy of relevance.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
An argument makes an appeal to ignorance if it claims we should believe something on the grounds that no one can disprove it or that we should not believe something on the grounds that no one can prove it. But, just because we cannot prove something does not show that it is not true, and because we cannot disprove something does not show that it is true. These facts are irrelevant to the offered conclusions, and so such arguments contain fallacies of relevance.
