Evoking a person's pity is always to invoke an irrelevant consideration.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
An argument commits the fallacy of appeal to pity when it attempts to play on someone's feelings of pity when those feelings are irrelevant. But, on occasion, such considerations can be relevant. If I ask you not to punch me on the grounds that it will hurt me, I may play to your pity, but in a way that is almost certainly relevant to the issue of whether you should punch me or not.
