Ham,
The ball's in your court.  Can you find any logic book that uses the phrase "fallacious
premise"?  Any good logic book will talk about ARGUMENTS as "fallacious"/not
"fallacious", depending on the connection between the premises & the conclusion.
PREMISES are evaluated as true/false, supported/unsupported, etc.  But I don't think
you'll find a logic book which evaluates "something comes from nothing".  Or if you do,
it will evaluate it the same as "something doesn't come from nothing".
