Logic and the Rules of Debate
We also have a Warrior forum dedicated to improving the thought process but haven't seen logic posted there, although I admit I don't go there often and easily could have missed something.
It's really interesting to read some of these logical fallacies and then read forum posts here and see just how many arguments posted really have little logical merit.
How many of these can you spot and how many logical fallacies do you use?
