ARGUMENTUM AD IGNORANTIAM

Description: An argument that a proposition is true because it has not been shown to be false, or vice versa. Ad ignorantium arguments are also known as "appeals to ignorance." This fallacy has two forms:

P is true, because it has not been proven false.
P is false, because it has not been proven true.

No. All of these statements seek to validate themselves based upon faulty observation and the assumption that no alternatives could be true.

Pangel obviously doesn't understand logic if s/he thinks they can even seem valid at even an instant. They are all invalid.
