Generally speaking, if you can smell it, it’s not good for you to inhale.

  Bad advice. There are a lot of odorless volatile compounds that will kill you. Human olfactory sense evolved to smell food, waste or rot; it didn't evolve to detect synthetic and contemporary chemicals invented in last 100 years.

      How so? Care to elaborate? The only thing I am noticing that's left in my argument is that there are also bad chemicals that can be detected by human olfactory sense. My original point was that "Just because it has no smell, doesn't mean it is good for you", which is perfectly congruent and abdicates the fallacy you've listed.

        >My original point was that "Just because it has no smell, doesn't mean it is good for you", And their point was that that being true doesn't make the comment you replied to "bad advice" as you claimed.
