After all, that's how all labels work (and perhaps even words in general?). They try to capture meaning, at best failing to do so (endlessly "approaching" it, always a step behind the evolution of language), and at worst ensaring peoples' thoughts and ideas.

    Lol what? Are you a troll? Or a bot?

    Fallacy is just faulty reasoning, I don't need to know all the ins and outs of how philosophers/logicians categorise them to know how to point out faulty reasoning. Knowing how to reason about things is far more important than throwing around buzzwords.

    You accuse me of not being studious, yet you refuse to actually engage with what I say - you know what kind of fallacy that is? An ad hominem. Even a supposed ignoramus like me knows that. I wonder what that makes you?
