Agree. People, especially from what I see, less socially savy people who need a fool-proof way of trying to win by force any discussion, nowadays have been using logical fallacies and logical soundness of an argument as the ultimate way to win an argument which is BS. There is a reason why our brain evolved to use probability and make logical fallacies to form judgements. Granted, it doesn't work all the time, but it does work A LOT. Example: Ad hominem - true, often people start attacking the person in order to escape the argument altogether, and because they have no good counterpoint. But again, this just shows lack of social intelligence. Maybe, we cannot counter-argument that person, but we show that they have ulterior motives, that they are a bad person, and whatever they're cooking, even if it seems ok by their current words, and I can't refute their well thought out position and explain my intuition, he's going to do something bad really soon. So, don't listen to him. Logical fallacies are useful to be known, but they lately tend to be overused as the end all of "you're making a logical fallacy therefore you fail."
