    If you know enough fallacy types you can basically regress any argument to a set of fallacies. Good job you now have the super power to suggest anything said by anyone is a fallacy. Go and use your powers for being extremely annoying and super counter productive.

      That’s where the fallacy fallacy comes into play. It’s the ultimate trap card for those obsessed with pointing out fallacies.

      That’s because arguments and debates are not the same thing. Fallacies apply to legitimate debate. They do not apply to arguments.

        I’m going to disagree with this.

        Fallacies are logical flaws, they exist regardless.

        Being trained in epistemology to identify my own faulty thinking is one of the best things I’ve ever done.

        Not for arguing or debating, but for communicating, and expressing myself sincerely.
