Dave, now you are cherry picking.
Oxford also states “for which there is a fair and acceptable reason. SYNONYMS valid, justifiable.”
And there are “fair and acceptable reasons” to be bothered by people that don’t care about the impact that predictable, “faulty logical” conclusions of the public have on their behavior resulting in “suboptimal outcome”.
It’s a fair assumption that a great proportion of the general public does not distinguish between people and cause. If you truly want the cause to succeed—or have optimal outcome—you should care about mitigating that risk and not blame suboptimal outcome on logical fallacies of others.
Please don’t “should” on me—or anyone else for that matter—Julian. It’s disrespectful.
I feel that educating people about logical fallacies is the way forward. But I am curious to hear what you or others propose that doesn’t simply enable people to perpetuate existing behaviors.
