  Was your first comment intended as irony? When arguing with others it is best to employ the principle of charity, even to the point of improving the other party's arguments to make them as strong as possible, and then pointing out where you think they are wrong. It is best to study fallacies in order to avoid making them, rather than throwing them at others in the manner of the proverbial religious hypocrite who 'read ye good booke in order to rake all the blessings unto himself, and to shovel all the curses unto his neighbours'.

    I agree that the principle of charity should be employed. Sometimes though, the conversation benefits from someone knowing why their arguments aren't solid.
