Sorry boy,Tu quoque won't cut it.
If you want to show you are merely a normal human being,with areas of ignorance rather than a willfully ignorant fool, perhaps begin to familiarise yourself with the more common logical fallacies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote:Tu quoque (pronounced /tuːˈkwoʊkwiː/, from Latin for "You, too" or "You, also") is a Latin term that describes a kind of logical fallacy. A tu quoque argument attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting his failure to act consistently in accordance with that position; it attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. It is considered an ad hominem argument, since it focuses on the party itself, rather than its positions.[1]
