Cagne's Reviews > How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic

Bummer, I didn't expect a list of fallacies from the title. It felt like reading a long Wikipedia article.

The author seasons each example with some dry humor but at times it makes me wonder if he's a douchebag, like when he mentions stupidity as a cause of supporting nuclear disarment. He also seems the only one who thought the plural of cum hoc is "cum hoes".

Found interesting the ad lapidem part about boycotting speakers, which nowadays applies again to nazis on campuses, and the part about irrelevant humor. I never properly understood the strawman fallacy but as described here, it got in.
