Greetings Jos,
I am no expert as should be obvious, but here's a simple example of
what's in my mind.
Here's a statement that might be used in an argument discussion of
who discovered America. Never mind that it is outdated, it makes my point.
Every 5th-grader knows Columbus discovered America.
This statement might point to common knowledge of 5-graders, but
doesn't bring anything pertinent or factual to the argument. Further
it may illicit an emotive response by implying that the person being
addressed doesn't have the intelligence of a 5th-grader. Bad form, I
would think.
The radio talking-heads use an abundance of emotive language.
