Ah right. I wonder if that’s the result of linguistic convergent evolution or however you’d term it, or if the common usage of “begs the question” arose from a misuse of the logical fallacy. I’ve not heard of the logical fallacy myself and only know it from the common colloquial usage, but English isn’t my first language so not sure how common the knowledge of the logical fallacy is among native speakers.
It’s colloquial for a reason, convergence, misuse, or whatever I would say most English speakers would not know the logical fallacy. Maybe as something for people who do debate clubs/class but unlikely for others.
