The logical fallacy of false dilemma also called false dichotomy, the either-or fallacy involves a situation in which only two alternatives are considered, when in fact there are other options. Closely related are failing to consider a range of options and the tendency to think in extremes, called black-and-white thinking. Strictly speaking, the prefix "di" in "dilemma" means "two". When a list of more than two choices is offered, but there are other choices not mentioned, then the fallacy is called the fallacy of false choice, or the fallacy of exhaustive hypotheses. False dilemma can arise intentionally, when fallacy is used in an attempt to force a choice "If you are not with us, you are against us." But the fallacy can arise simply by accidental omission possibly through a form of wishful thinking or ignorance rather than by deliberate deception "I thought we were friends, but all my friends were at my apartment last night and you weren't there."
