“If we become attuned to these fallacies, then every time we hear them - every time we hear a person attacked, an emotional appeal made, an idea rejected because it isn't perfect, or a phrase like ''we have only two choices'' - our antennae will go up. This doesn't mean that we should necessarily reject what the person is saying but that we should reason more carefully about the issue before deciding what we believe should be done.”
