Unfortunately the audience might not be aware of the fallacies, so in their minds it might seem like a really great point, when it really isn't. So, before debating (at least on a larger stage) one should definitely read up on debating etiquette, but still, I think accidents will happen, especially in more informal situations.
I agree with that. I suppose most debates contain fallacies. I am, however, surprised at how many Galloway dropped just in the ad hominmen sector. Thanks for the input!
