You can point out the fallacy or you can explain why the argument doesn’t hold. People that debate by yelling out the names of logical fallacy’s are point scoring and look disingenuous. If you actually engage with the substance and explain why the argument is wrong without invoking talismans people tend to be more receptive. Basically don’t make people feel dumb if you want them to engage rationally.
