Thread Name: BS: effective arguments
Subject: RE: BS: effective arguments
Oh, indeed! I have posed links to the fallacies for years. The problem is, when someone seems to know that they don't have the strongest argument, they instinctively (and probably honestly) resort to some version of one of the fallacies. Besides, it is really a lot of work to be sure your arguments comply with good practice.
