Maybe so, but ultimately it's up to us to take responsibility for the techniques we use in argumentation. I would agree that it's not generally a good idea to try to use an attack on the rhetorical techniques someone uses in order to win an argument. It's best to politely find a way to challenge their argument without attacking them personally for the way they put their case.



A very reasonable take...but I wonder if there might be a substantially more optimal approach, that is possible.
