Logical fallacies and what counts as a logical fallacy and what doesn't.

Re: Sometimes I wish more people knew....

[dreemyweird]

On that note, I wish people understood that using classic logical fallacies isn't necessarily "bad" or "wrong". Too many seem to think that fallacies have no right to be used. Sure enough, they're bad if you're trying to construct a good rational argument based on e.g. deductive logic; they are, however, perfectly fine in many other situations.

E.g. anecdotal fallacy: if you're trying to draw a parallel between your experiences and the other person's experiences so as to suggest a potentially acceptable solution, it'd only make sense to use this one.

"moving the goalposts" may not be a terribly polite thing to do, but it's not an unreasonable course of action when you realize that the evidence you've been presented with doesn't allow to make any sort of acceptable generalization.

etc.

Oh yeah. Also the "slippery slope" fallacy, if you can prove that one thing leads to the other, it's not exactly wrong. Like if you say the addiction can lead to petty crimes or debt that's not exactly wrong. However if you tried to argue that addiction will lead to becoming a serial killer, that's uh. kinda wrong.
