As good as it is to identify these, it's worth pointing out that another fallacy is the assumption that the point a fallacious argument is trying to prove is wrong because it has a fallacy. It's possible to be right but still commit a fallacy in your argument.

- potatolicious 14y agoFallacies do not in and of themselves disprove an argument - but I usually see them as a barometer for the quality of discourse and the character of the person making the argument. An argument strongly compromised by fallacies, made by someone otherwise intelligent, suggests to me disingenuity and intellectual dishonesty - and it affects how willing I am willing to engage in debate in return.
