Just a meta note, this is why fallacies are limited. Just because something is a logical fallacy, meaning it does not lead to a disproof in a deductive reasoning sense, doesn't mean people often use arguments that could be considered fallacious to disregard arguments all the time as instead they use good heuristics.
Deductive reasoning is valuable but only applicable in a small number of real world arguments, as with math it generally has to do with determining consequences of an assumption. Heuristics and just plain inductive reasoning is generally what arguments are really about most of the time.
