    This graphic would be more effective if it didn’t include the fallacy names at the end of the commandments

    I think it should have the names of the fallacy listed. It gives someone a way to look up more information to understand it better or look up examples. I know that most people are resistant to learning and won’t do a damn thing, but I think it’s important to have for those who are open to learning.

    It’s almost a way to cite the commandments. Otherwise it’s just a list of statements without anything to back them up.

      The keyword doesn’t make the statements credible. This is exactly what I’m talking about. The description of the fallacy is just as credible as the name of the fallacy. You’re doing the same thing I’m criticizing in other people; thinking that the latin words are the important part, rather than the concept of what makes a fallacy.

      The definition of a word isn’t in doubt if the word itself isn’t listed on the same line.
