Deliberate use of fallacy
#4
RE: Deliberate use of fallacy
You need to tailor your argument to the context you're in. If you're aware of the fallacy and are well stocked with non-fallacious arguments in favor of the same conclusion, but won't get through to whoever you're talking to without the fallacy, I'd feel safe in using it. Just make sure you're on solid non-fallacious ground too, before you dig yourself in too deep.
