No, the formula means it is logical. A logical fallacy means that something is formally invalid, that is the conclusion does not follow from the premises. There are fallacies involving arguments from authority, but they do not make the argument from authority, per se, illogical, they make the particular application with the premises a fallacious argument.
If something is logically wrong it means it is formally invalid, the conclusion does not follow from the premises. That is different from the propositions involved being false.
Mr Infidel, do you think bacteria is alive? I personally, as a democrat and an ethical atheist believe that my personally convictions about the matter lead me to think that bacteria is not alive. I would be happy to debate you about it. What are you own personal beliefs on this? Lets exchange ideas. You think bacteria is a living organism. I personally take issue with that, I don't, as a democrat and ethical atheist believe bacteria is alive. My intellectual convictions lead me to want to also debate the point of whether 2 + 2 = 4. What do you think? I think 2 + 2 = 5.
Lets have a debate about it, shall we? This is America, people can debate about anything in America, its free speech, that means you can say whatever you want. Doesn't matter whether you know what you are talking about, so long as you care.
