Picking Apart Logical Fallacies



From Wired:

Do you ever get into arguments on the internet? If not, get a refund from your ISP, because you're not getting your money's worth.

The latest Alt Text is a handy guide to logical fallacies that will aid you in any argument, ranging from election debates to important stuff like whether Optimus Prime could beat up the Terminator.

These rhetorical techniques won't actually help you win, mind you, but they will allow you to keep changing the subject until your opponent gives up. And on the web, that's just as good!
