It’s important to remember some fallacies
The Fallacy Fallacy.
You assume that because the argument contains a logical fallacy, that the conclusion must be false. We already know that it is entitely possible to do everything right and still fail; now you must understand the opposite is also sometimes true and you can do everything wrong but still succeed.
Also, an ad hominem is an attack against the person instead of the argument.
If you attack the argument and then the person, that's not technically an ad hominem.
No, that would be an and hominem.
Exactly. "No because you're an idiot" is ad hominem, but "no because x, and you're an idiot for thinking that" is valid albeit rude
This is my favorite scene in all of Star Trek
I want to love these but the baseball umpire making what sounds like football calls just irks me.
You're forgetting Ad Homicide: Just because you killed someone doesn't mean you're right.
(And of course, its vice versa, just because you (or someone with your views) got killed doesn't mean you're right, which admittedly is less common in history, but nonetheless something to be aware of to evaluate arguments critically.)
You’re gone!! 👉
About 10 years ago, some guy was posting photos of NFL refs calling penalties on logical fallacies.
I absolutely love this and will cherish them forever
I’m on this episode and remember I had them on one of my conversations. So I’ve redownload them and post them just for you
