I'm sorry, I was replying to theOP in an old tab. I didn't realize all the replies were up there.
My point, though, is that getting caught out in a fallacy undermines your credibility even when you move on to sounder argumentation.
Mind you, I'm not saying to avoid passion or even rhetorical effect in making a point. There's nothing wrong with passionate argumentation built on a solid foundation.
My apologies about any confusion I caused.
No apologies required, The confusion was mine, and I agree with your point as well.
