Appeal to Fallacy.

It might not be a fallacy.

A fallacy doesn't make an argument wrong.

There are degrees of fallacies.

Claiming a statement is wrong because there might be a fallacy is a thought-ending argument. There's more nuance and relatability in rhetoric. Refusing to engage because someone's using a fallacy is reasonable, but calling it by name isn't a magic spell that forces someone to throw in the towel.

    This is a good one. The use of fallacies doesn't necessarily void an argument, it just fails to support it logically.

    For example, I could craft a perfect, clean, cold-cut argument so water-tight and beautiful that even ben-fucking-shapiro would have a come-to-jesus. Calling my opponent a "dickhead" at the end (ad hominem) doesn't prove anything, but it doesn't nullify the entire rest of the argument either. Plus it's fun.

    This is everywhere on the internet. I think it's people looking for an easy way out in arguing. Purposely include a few logic fallacies and watch as the vast majority of people latch onto them. Ignoring any previous points they were trying to make. I like ad hominem.
