I wish there were more resources pointing out how to correctly identify things not as fallacies.
In internet arguments, every reference to a source is appeal to authority (even if it is an expert source),every analogy, metaphor, or simile is a straw man, defining anything is a "no true Scotsman" because those are the 3 that people remember.
Then the fallacy fallacy is probably the most important at all, and one of the most common when dealing with self-diagnosed "enlightened" people ๐ even without that, if you combine every fallacy on the wiki, there is almost no way to make any argument ever without fallacies. It sometimes becomes the "therapy speak" of arguments
I've been thinking about that. A game would be incredibly cool.
