Well, we are human.
Indeed. And like most tu quoque fallacies we see on the board every day, it's not even an accurate attempt at an accusation of hypocrisy.
Maybe it would be interesting to do a daily chart of which logical fallacies get used here the most. I would guess argument from ignorance/incredulity would be top, special pleading second, begging the question (if that counts as a fallacy) third, and tu quoque fourth.
EDIT: I forgot one. False equivocations. Those seem extremely popular.
