An argument can be profoundly fallacious or not. A solid argument, pretty much by definition, is solid because there aren't obvious fallacies in it.

- Smaug123 6y agoObviously it's bad logic. I put it in scare quotes for a reason. But having lists of fallacies available makes it a lot easier to commit this particular error of reasoning. I'm not sure I've ever witnessed an argument between normal people which was assisted by one party naming a fallacy.
