Arguman is indeed an interesting platform, but I also feel like it is almost impossible to reach any sort of conclusion on it. For example, https://en.arguman.

For example, https://en.arguman.org/there-is-no-such-thing-as-global-warming https://en.arguman.org/there-is-no-such-thing-as-global-warm.... Every argument, good or bad, falls under some sort of fallacy.
- serkandurusoy 6y agoI hear you. But is that a problem with the tool, or the lack of sufficient contribution on the topic from sufficiently interested and invested people like subject matter experts?
- cvlasdkv 6y agoAgreed. While logical fallacies are useful to teach people to avoid critical thinking pitfalls they are not useful to sift through the merits of arguments.
- amadeuspagel 6y agoArguman's fallacy system is really an anti-feature. It's impossible to separate the claim that a specific argument is a fallacy from a counter-argument. Many people seem to think that you can just take a word describing a kind of a argument, attach "fallacy" to it, and you have refuted it.

- serkandurusoy 6y agoAh, I guess I was wrong earlier when saying that this was not a problem with the tool. Merely allowing fallacies seemingly has an adverse affect on the whole promise. Thanks for this clarification.
