  The "Falacy falacy" strictly applies to logical falacy. Its pretty clear that the grandparent is using "fallacious" in the informal sense of "mistaken belief".

    Even if you (loosely) interpret the usage of "fallacious" in the parent comment as "mistaken belief", he's still claiming that the rest of the article exhibits the "mistaken belief" that rent control is bad. His argument for why the article exhibits a mistaken belief is because the article has a wrong statement near the beginning (incomes are rising for low income people). This is still an example of the fallacy fallacy. > The "Falacy falacy" strictly applies to logical falacy. Are you claiming that the parent comment is not logical or not making a logical argument? What type of other acceptable argument is there?
